=========
py3status is an extensible i3status wrapper written in python
## Documentation
See the [wiki](https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki) for up to date documentation.
## Requirements
You must set the `output_format` to `i3bar` in the general section of your i3status.conf:
general {
output_format = "i3bar"
}
## Installation (non Gentoo users)
Just clone the repository:
$ git clone git@github.com:ultrabug/py3status.git py3status
Get into the cloned directory:
$ cd py3status
And run the setup.py as root or via sudo:
$ sudo python setup.py install
## Installation (Gentoo users)
Add the `ultrabug` overlay on layman:
$ sudo layman -a ultrabug
Install py3status:
$ sudo emerge -a py3status
## Installation (Arch users)
Thanks to @waaaaargh, py3status is present in the Arch User Repository using this URL:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/py3status-git/
## Usage
In your i3 config file, simply change the `status_command` with:
status_command py3status
Usually you have your own i3status configuration, just point to it:
status_command py3status -c ~/.i3/i3status.conf
## Options
You can see the help of py3status by issuing `py3status -h`:
-c I3STATUS_CONF path to i3status config file
-d disable integrated transformations
-i INCLUDE_PATH user-based class include directory (default .i3/py3status)
-n INTERVAL update interval in seconds (default 1 sec)
-t CACHE_TIMEOUT default injection cache timeout in seconds (default 60 sec)
## Control
Just like i3status, you can force an update by sending a SIGUSR1 signal to py3status.
Note that this will also send a SIGUSR1 signal to i3status.
killall -USR1 py3status
## Update
Just pull on your local clone to get the latest py3status:
$ cd py3status
$ git pull
$ sudo python setup.py install
