Welcome to the i3pystatus documentation!¶

Configuration¶

The configuration file is a normal Python script. The status bar is controlled by a central Status object, which individual modules like a clock or a battery monitor are added to with the register method.

A typical configuration file could look like this (note the additional dependencies from network and pulseaudio in this example):

from i3pystatus import Status

status = Status()

# Displays clock like this:
# Tue 30 Jul 11:59:46 PM KW31
#                          ^-- calendar week
status.register("clock",
    format="%a %-d %b %X KW%V",)

# Shows the average load of the last minute and the last 5 minutes
# (the default value for format is used)
status.register("load")

# Shows your CPU temperature, if you have a Intel CPU
status.register("temp",
    format="{temp:.0f}°C",)

# The battery monitor has many formatting options, see README for details

# This would look like this, when discharging (or charging)
# ↓14.22W 56.15% [77.81%] 2h:41m
# And like this if full:
# =14.22W 100.0% [91.21%]
#
# This would also display a desktop notification (via D-Bus) if the percentage
# goes below 5 percent while discharging. The block will also color RED.
# If you don't have a desktop notification demon yet, take a look at dunst:
#   http://www.knopwob.org/dunst/
status.register("battery",
    format="{status}/{consumption:.2f}W {percentage:.2f}% [{percentage_design:.2f}%] {remaining:%E%hh:%Mm}",
    alert=True,
    alert_percentage=5,
    status={
        "DIS": "↓",
        "CHR": "↑",
        "FULL": "=",
    },)

# This would look like this:
# Discharging 6h:51m
status.register("battery",
    format="{status} {remaining:%E%hh:%Mm}",
    alert=True,
    alert_percentage=5,
    status={
        "DIS":  "Discharging",
        "CHR":  "Charging",
        "FULL": "Bat full",
    },)

# Displays whether a DHCP client is running
status.register("runwatch",
    name="DHCP",
    path="/var/run/dhclient*.pid",)

# Shows the address and up/down state of eth0. If it is up the address is shown in
# green (the default value of color_up) and the CIDR-address is shown
# (i.e. 10.10.10.42/24).
# If it's down just the interface name (eth0) will be displayed in red
# (defaults of format_down and color_down)
#
# Note: the network module requires PyPI package netifaces
status.register("network",
    interface="eth0",
    format_up="{v4cidr}",)

# Note: requires both netifaces and basiciw (for essid and quality)
status.register("network",
    interface="wlan0",
    format_up="{essid} {quality:03.0f}%",)

# Shows disk usage of /
# Format:
# 42/128G [86G]
status.register("disk",
    path="/",
    format="{used}/{total}G [{avail}G]",)

# Shows pulseaudio default sink volume
#
# Note: requires libpulseaudio from PyPI
status.register("pulseaudio",
    format="♪{volume}",)

# Shows mpd status
# Format:
# Cloud connected▶Reroute to Remain
status.register("mpd",
    format="{title}{status}{album}",
    status={
        "pause": "▷",
        "play": "▶",
        "stop": "◾",
    },)

status.run()

Also change your i3wm config to the following:

# i3bar
bar {
    status_command    python ~/.path/to/your/config/file.py
    position          top
    workspace_buttons yes
}

Note

Don’t name your config file i3pystatus.py, as it would make i3pystatus un-importable and lead to errors.

Another way to launch your configuration file is to use i3pystatus script from installation:

i3pystatus -c ~/.path/to/your/config/file.py

If no arguments were provided, i3pystatus script works as an example of Clock module.

Formatting¶

All modules let you specifiy the exact output formatting using a format string, which gives you a great deal of flexibility.

If a module gives you a float, it probably has a ton of uninteresting decimal places. Use {somefloat:.0f} to get the integer value, {somefloat:0.2f} gives you two decimal places after the decimal dot

formatp¶

Some modules use an extended format string syntax (the mpd and weather modules, for example). Given the format string below the output adapts itself to the available data.

[{artist}/{album}/]{title}{status}

Only if both the artist and album is known they’re displayed. If only one or none of them is known the entire group between the brackets is excluded.

“is known” is here defined as “value evaluating to True in Python”, i.e. an empty string or 0 (or 0.0) counts as “not known”.

Inside a group always all format specifiers must evaluate to true (logical and).

You can nest groups. The inner group will only become part of the output if both the outer group and the inner group are eligible for output.

TimeWrapper¶

Some modules that output times use TimeWrapper to format these. TimeWrapper is a mere extension of the standard formatting method.

The time format that should be used is specified using the format specifier, i.e. with some_time being 3951 seconds a format string like {some_time:%h:%m:%s} would produce 1:5:51.

%h, %m and %s are the hours, minutes and seconds without leading zeros (i.e. 0 to 59 for minutes and seconds)
%H, %M and %S are padded with a leading zero to two digits, i.e. 00 to 59
%l and %L produce hours non-padded and padded but only if hours is not zero. If the hours are zero it produces an empty string.
%% produces a literal %
%E (only valid on beginning of the string) if the time is null, don’t format anything but rather produce an empty string. If the time is non-null it is removed from the string.
When the module in question also uses formatp, 0 seconds counts as “not known”.
The formatted time is stripped, i.e. spaces on both ends of the result are removed.

Logging¶

Errors do happen and to ease debugging i3pystatus includes a logging facility. By default i3pystatus will log exceptions raised by modules to files in your home directory named .i3pystatus-<pid-of-thread>. Some modules might log additional information.

Setting a specific logfile¶

When instantiating your Status object, the path to a log file can be specified (it accepts environment variables). If this is done, then log messages will be sent to that file and not to an .i3pystatus-<pid-of-thread> file in your home directory. This is useful in that it helps keep your home directory from becoming cluttered with files containing errors.

from i3pystatus import Status

status = Status(logfile='$HOME/var/i3pystatus.log')

Changing log format¶

New in version 3.35.

The logformat option can be useed to change the format of the log files, using LogRecord attributes.

from i3pystatus import Status

status = Status(
    logfile='/home/username/var/i3pystatus.log',
    logformat='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s:',
)

Log level¶

Every module has a log_level option which sets the minimum severity required for an event to be logged.

The numeric values of logging levels are given in the following table.

Level	Numeric value
`CRITICAL`	50
`ERROR`	40
`WARNING`	30
`INFO`	20
`DEBUG`	10
`NOTSET`	0

Exceptions raised by modules are of severity ERROR by default. The default log_level in i3pystatus (some modules might redefine the default, see the reference of the module in question) is 30 (WARNING).

Callbacks¶

Callbacks are used for click-events (merged into i3bar since i3 4.6, mouse wheel events are merged since 4.8), that is, you click (or scroll) on the output of a module in your i3bar and something happens. What happens is defined by these settings for each module individually:

on_leftclick
on_rightclick
on_upscroll
on_downscroll

The global default action for all settings is None (do nothing), but many modules define other defaults, which are documented in the module reference.

The values you can assign to these four settings can be divided to following three categories:

Member callbacks

These callbacks are part of the module itself and usually do some simple module related tasks (like changing volume when scrolling, etc.). All available callbacks are (most likely not) documented in their respective module documentation.

For example the module ALSA has callbacks named switch_mute, increase_volume and decrease volume. They are already assigned by default but you can change them to your liking when registering the module.

status.register("alsa",
    on_leftclick = ["switch_mute"],
    # or as a strings without the list
    on_upscroll = "decrease_volume",
    on_downscroll = "increase_volume",
    # this will refresh any module by clicking on it
    on_rightclick = "run",
    )

Some callbacks also have additional parameters. Both increase_volume and decrease_volume have an optional parameter delta which determines the amount of percent to add/subtract from the current volume.

status.register("alsa",
    # all additional items in the list are sent to the callback as arguments
    on_upscroll = ["decrease_volume", 2],
    on_downscroll = ["increase_volume", 2],
    )

Python callbacks

These refer to to any callable Python object (most likely a function). To external Python callbacks that are not part of the module the self parameter is not passed by default. This allows to use many library functions with no additional wrapper.

If self is needed to access the calling module, the get_module() decorator can be used on the callback:

from i3pystatus import get_module

# Note that the 'self' parameter is required and gives access to all
# variables of the module.
@get_module
def change_text(self):
    self.output["full_text"] = "Clicked"

status.register("text",
    text = "Initial text",
    on_leftclick = [change_text],
    # or
    on_rightclick = change_text,
    )

You can also create callbacks with parameters.

from i3pystatus import get_module

@get_module
def change_text(self, text="Hello world!", color="#ffffff"):
    self.output["full_text"] = text
    self.output["color"] = color

status.register("text",
    text = "Initial text",
    color = "#00ff00",
    on_leftclick = [change_text, "Clicked LMB", "#ff0000"],
    on_rightclick = [change_text, "Clicked RMB"],
    on_upscroll = change_text,
    )

External program callbacks

You can also use callbacks to execute external programs. Any string that does not match any member callback is treated as an external command. If you want to do anything more complex than executing a program with a few arguments, consider creating an python callback or execute a script instead.

status.register("text",
    text = "Launcher?",
    # open terminal window running htop
    on_leftclick = "i3-sensible-terminal -e htop",
    # open i3pystatus github page in firefox
    on_rightclick = "firefox --new-window https://github.com/enkore/i3pystatus",
    )

Most modules provide all the formatter data to program callbacks. The snippet below demonstrates how this could be used, in this case XMessage will display a dialog box showing verbose information about the network interface:

status.register("network",
    interface="eth0",
    on_leftclick="ip addr show dev {interface} | xmessage -file -"
    )

Hints¶

Hints are additional parameters used to customize output of a module. They give you access to all attributes supported by i3bar protocol.

Hints are available as the hints setting in all modules and its value should be a dictionary or None. An attribute defined in hints will be applied only if the module output does not contain attribute with the same name already.

Some possible uses for these attributes are:

min_width and align can be used to set minimal width of output and align the text if its width is shorter than minimal_width.
separator and separator_block_width can be used to remove the vertical bar that is separating modules.
markup can be set to “none” or “pango”. Pango markup provides additional formatting options for drawing rainbows and other fancy stuff.

Note

Pango markup requires that i3bar is configured to use Pango, too. It can’t work with X core fonts.

Here is an example with the network module. Pango markup is used to keep the ESSID green at all times while the recieved/sent part is changing color depending on the amount of traffic.

status.register("network",
    interface = "wlp2s0",
    hints = {"markup": "pango"},
    format_up = "<span color=\"#00FF00\">{essid}</span> {bytes_recv:6.1f}KiB {bytes_sent:5.1f}KiB",
    format_down = "",
    dynamic_color = True,
    start_color = "#00FF00",
    end_color = "#FF0000",
    color_down = "#FF0000",
    upper_limit = 800.0,
    )

Or you can use pango to customize the color of status setting in now_playing and mpd modules.

...
hints = {"markup": "pango"},
status = {
    "play": "▶",
    "pause": "<span color=\"orange\">▶</span>",
    "stop": "<span color=\"red\">◾</span>",
},
...

Or make two modules look like one.

status.register("text",
    text = "shmentarianism is a pretty long word.")
status.register("text",
    hints = {"separator": False, "separator_block_width": 0},
    text = "Antidisestabli",
    color="#FF0000")

Refreshing the bar¶

The whole bar can be refreshed by sending SIGUSR1 signal to i3pystatus process. This feature is not available in chained mode (Status was created with standalone=False parameter and gets it’s input from i3status or a similar program).

To find the PID of the i3pystatus process look for the status_command you use in your i3 config file. If your bar section of i3 config looks like this

bar {
    status_command python ~/.config/i3/pystatus.py
}

then you can refresh the bar by using the following command:

pkill -SIGUSR1 -f "python /home/user/.config/i3/pystatus.py"

Note that the path must be expanded if using ‘~’.

Internet Connectivity¶

Module methods that @require(internet) won’t be run unless a test TCP connection is successful. By default, this is made to Google’s DNS server, but you can customize the host and port. See internet.

If you are behind a gateway that redirects web traffic to an authorization page and blocks other traffic, the DNS check will return a false positive. This is often encountered in open WiFi networks. In these cases it is helpful to try a service that is not traditionally required for web browsing:

from i3pystatus import Status

status = Status(check_internet=("whois.arin.net", 43))

from i3pystatus import Status

status = Status(check_internet=("github.com", 22))

Credentials¶

Settings that require credentials can utilize the keyring module to keep sensitive information out of config files. To take advantage of this feature, simply use the i3pystatus-setting-util script installed along i3pystatus to set the credentials for a module. Once this is done you can add the module to your config without specifying the credentials, e.g.:

# Use the default keyring to retrieve credentials.
# To determine which backend is the default on your system, run
# python -c 'import keyring; print(keyring.get_keyring())'
status.register('github')

If you don’t want to use the default you can set a specific keyring like so:

# Requires the keyrings.alt package
from keyrings.alt.file import PlaintextKeyring
status.register('github', keyring_backend=PlaintextKeyring())

i3pystatus will locate and set the credentials during the module loading process. Currently supported credentials are “password”, “email” and “username”.

Note

Credential handling requires the PyPI package keyring. Many distributions have it pre-packaged available as python-keyring.

class i3pystatus.battery.BatteryChecker[source]¶

This class uses the /sys/class/power_supply/…/uevent interface to check for the battery status.

Setting battery_ident to ALL will summarise all available batteries and aggregate the % as well as the time remaining on the charge. This is helpful when the machine has more than one battery available.

Available formatters

{remaining} — remaining time for charging or discharging, uses TimeWrapper formatting, default format is %E%h:%M
{percentage} — battery percentage relative to the last full value
{percentage_design} — absolute battery charge percentage
{consumption (Watts)} — current power flowing into/out of the battery
{status}
{no_of_batteries} — The number of batteries included
{battery_ident} — the same as the setting
{bar} —bar displaying the relative percentage graphically
{bar_design} —bar displaying the absolute percentage graphically

This module supports the formatp extended string format syntax. By setting the FULL status to an empty string, and including brackets around the {status} formatter, the text within the brackets will be hidden when the battery is full, as can be seen in the below example:

from i3pystatus import Status

status = Status()

status.register(
    'battery',
    interval=5,
    format='{battery_ident}: [{status} ]{percentage_design:.2f}%',
    alert=True,
    alert_percentage=15,
    status = {
        'DPL': 'DPL',
        'CHR': 'CHR',
        'DIS': 'DIS',
        'FULL': '',
    }
)

status.run()

Settings

battery_ident (default: ALL) – The name of your battery, usually BAT0 or BAT1
format (default: {status} {remaining})
not_present_text (default: Battery {battery_ident} not present) – Text displayed if the battery is not present. No formatters are available
alert (default: False) – Display a libnotify-notification on low battery
critical_level_command (default: empty) – Runs a shell command in the case of a critical power state
critical_level_percentage (default: 1)
alert_percentage (default: 10)
alert_format_title (default: Low battery) – The title of the notification, all formatters can be used
alert_format_body (default: Battery {battery_ident} has only {percentage:.2f}% ({remaining:%E%hh:%Mm}) remaining!) – The body text of the notification, all formatters can be used
path (default: empty) – Override the default-generated path and specify the full path for a single battery
base_path (default: /sys/class/power_supply) – Override the default base path for searching for batteries
battery_prefix (default: BAT) – Override the default battery prefix
status (default: {'DPL': 'DPL', 'FULL': 'FULL', 'DIS': 'DIS', 'CHR': 'CHR'}) – A dictionary mapping (‘DPL’, ‘DIS’, ‘CHR’, ‘FULL’) to alternative names
color (default: #ffffff) – The text color
full_color (default: #00ff00) – The full color
charging_color (default: #00ff00) – The charging color
critical_color (default: #ff0000) – The critical color
not_present_color (default: #ffffff) – The not present color.
no_text_full (default: False) – Don’t display text when battery is full - 100%
interval (default: 5) – interval in seconds between module updates
on_leftclick (default: empty) – Callback called on left click (see Callbacks)
on_middleclick (default: empty) – Callback called on middle click (see Callbacks)

class i3pystatus.scores.Scores[source]¶

This is a generic score checker, which must use at least one configured score backend.

Followed games can be scrolled through with the mouse/trackpad. Left-clicking on the module will refresh the scores, while right-clicking it will cycle through the configured backends. Double-clicking the module with the left button will launch the league-specific (MLB Gameday / NHL GameCenter / etc.) URL for the game. If there is not an active game, double-clicking will launch the league-specific scoreboard URL containing all games for the current day.

Double-clicking with the right button will reset the current backend to the first game in the scroll list. This is useful for quickly switching back to a followed team’s game after looking at other game scores.

Scores for the previous day’s games will be shown until 10am Eastern Time (US), after which time the current day’s games will be shown.

Available formatters

Formatters are set in the backend instances, see the Score Backends for more information.

This module supports the formatp extended string format syntax. This allows for values to be hidden when they evaluate as False (e.g. when a formatter is blank (an empty string). The default values for the format strings set in the score backends (format_pregame, format_in_progress, etc.) make heavy use of formatp, hiding many formatters when they are blank.

Usage example

from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.scores import mlb, nhl

status = Status()

status.register(
    'scores',
    hints={'markup': 'pango'},
    colorize_teams=True,
    favorite_icon='<span size="small" color="#F5FF00">★</span>',
    backends=[
        mlb.MLB(
            teams=['CWS', 'SF'],
            format_no_games='No games today :(',
            inning_top='⬆',
            inning_bottom='⬇',
        ),
        nhl.NHL(teams=['CHI']),
        nba.NBA(
            teams=['GSW'],
            all_games=False,
        ),
        epl.EPL(),
    ],
)

status.run()

To enable colorized team name/city/abbbreviation, colorize_teams must be set to True. This also requires that i3bar is configured to use Pango, and that the hints param is set for the module and includes a markup key, as in the example above. To ensure that i3bar is configured to use Pango, the font param in your i3 config file must start with pango:.

If a teams param is not specified for the backend, then all games for the current day will be tracked, and will be ordered by the start time of the game. Otherwise, only games from explicitly-followed teams will be tracked, and will be in the same order as listed. If ALL is part of the list, then games from followed teams will be first in the scroll list, followed by all remaining games in order of start time.

Therefore, in the above example, only White Sox and Giants games would be tracked, while in the below example all games would be tracked, with White Sox and Giants games appearing first in the scroll list and the remaining games appearing after them, in order of start time.

from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.scores import mlb

status = Status()

status.register(
    'scores',
    hints={'markup': 'pango'},
    colorize_teams=True,
    favorite_icon='<span size="small" color="#F5FF00">★</span>',
    backends=[
        mlb.MLB(
            teams=['CWS', 'SF', 'ALL'],
            team_colors={
                'NYM': '#1D78CA',
            },
        ),
    ],
)

status.run()

Troubleshooting

If the module gets stuck during an update (i.e. the refresh_icon does not go away), then the update thread probably encountered a traceback. This traceback will (by default) be logged to ~/.i3pystatus-<pid> where <pid> is the PID of the thread. However, it may be more convenient to manually set the logfile to make the location of the log data reliable and avoid clutter in your home directory. For example:

import logging
from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.scores import mlb, nhl

status = Status(
    logfile='/home/username/var/i3pystatus.log',
)

status.register(
    'scores',
    log_level=logging.DEBUG,
    backends=[
        mlb.MLB(
            teams=['CWS', 'SF'],
            log_level=logging.DEBUG,
        ),
        nhl.NHL(
            teams=['CHI'],
            log_level=logging.DEBUG,
        ),
        nba.NBA(
            teams=['CHI'],
            log_level=logging.DEBUG,
        ),
    ],
)

status.run()

Note

The log_level must be set separately in both the module and the backend instances (as shown above), otherwise the backends will still use the default log level.

class i3pystatus.timer.Timer[source]¶

Timer module to remind yourself that there probably is something else you should be doing right now.

Main features include:

Set custom time interval with click events.
Different output formats triggered when remaining time is less than x seconds.
Execute custom python function or external command when timer overflows (or reaches zero depending on how you look at it).

Available formatters

Time formatters are available to show the remaining time. These include %h, %m, %s, %H, %M, %S. See TimeWrapper for detailed description.

The format_custom setting allows you to display different formats when certain amount of seconds is remaining. This setting accepts list of tuples which contain time in seconds, format string and color string each. See the default settings for an example:

(0, "+%M:%S", "#ffffff") - Use this format after overflow. White text with red background set by the urgent flag.
(60, "-%M:%S", "#ffa500") - Change color to orange in last minute.
(3600, "-%M:%S", "#00ff00") - Hide hour digits when remaining time is less than one hour.

Only first matching rule is applied (if any).

Callbacks

Module contains three mouse event callback methods:

start() - Default: Left click starts (or adds) 5 minute countdown.
increase() - Default: Upscroll/downscroll increase/decrease time by 1 minute.
reset() - Default: Right click resets timer.

Two new event settings were added:

on_overflow - Executed when remaining time reaches zero.
on_reset - Executed when timer is reset but only if overflow occured.

These settings accept either a python callable object or a string with shell command. Python callbacks should be non-blocking and without any arguments.

Here is an example that plays a short sound file in ‘loop’ every 60 seconds until timer is reset. (play is part of SoX - the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation)

on_overflow = "play -q /path/to/sound.mp3 pad 0 60 repeat -"
on_reset = "pkill -SIGTERM -f 'play -q /path/to/sound.mp3 pad 0 60 repeat -'"

Settings

format (default: -%h:%M:%S) – Default format that is showed if no format_custom rules are matched.

For each backend registered there is one formatter named after the backend, multiple identical backends do not accumulate, but overwrite each other.
For example, {Cower} (note capital C) is the number of updates reported by the cower backend, assuming it has been registered.

Usage example

from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.updates import pacman, cower

status = Status()

status.register("updates",

class i3pystatus.weather.Weather[source]¶

This is a generic weather-checker which must use a configured weather backend. For list of all available backends see Weather Backends.

Left clicking on the module will launch the forecast page for the location being checked.

Available formatters

{city} — Location of weather observation
{condition} — Current weather condition (Rain, Snow, Overcast, etc.)
{icon} — Icon representing the current weather condition
{observation_time} — Time of weather observation (supports strftime format flags)
{current_temp} — Current temperature, excluding unit
{low_temp} — Forecasted low temperature, excluding unit
{high_temp} — Forecasted high temperature, excluding unit (may be empty in the late afternoon)
{temp_unit} — Either °C or °F, depending on whether metric or
{feelslike} — “Feels Like” temperature, excluding unit
{dewpoint} — Dewpoint temperature, excluding unit imperial units are being used
{wind_speed} — Wind speed, excluding unit
{wind_unit} — Either kph or mph, depending on whether metric or imperial units are being used
{wind_direction} — Wind direction
{wind_gust} — Speed of wind gusts in mph/kph, excluding unit
{pressure} — Barometric pressure, excluding unit
{pressure_unit} — mb or in, depending on whether metric or imperial units are being used
{pressure_trend} — + if rising, - if falling, or an empty string if the pressure is steady (neither rising nor falling)
{visibility} — Visibility distance, excluding unit
{visibility_unit} — Either km or mi, depending on whether metric or imperial units are being used
{humidity} — Current humidity, excluding percentage symbol
{uv_index} — UV Index

This module supports the formatp extended string format syntax. This allows for values to be hidden when they evaluate as False. This comes in handy for the weathercom backend, which at a certain point in the afternoon will have a blank {high_temp} value. Using the following snippet in your format string will only display the high temperature information if it is not blank:

{current_temp}{temp_unit}[ Hi: {high_temp}[{temp_unit}]] Lo: {low_temp}{temp_unit}

Brackets are evaluated from the outside-in, so the fact that the only formatter in the outer block ({high_temp}) is empty would keep the inner block from being evaluated at all, and entire block would not be displayed.

See the following links for usage examples for the available weather backends:

Weather.com
Weather Underground

scoreboard_url (default: http://www.nba.com/scores) – Link to the NBA.com scoreboard page. Like live_url, this value should not need to be changed.
api_url (default: http://data.nba.com/data/10s/json/cms/noseason/scoreboard/%04d%02d%02d/games.json) – Alternate URL string from which to retrieve score data. Like, live_url, this value should not need to be changed.
standings_url (default: http://data.nba.com/data/json/cms/%s/league/standings.json) – Alternate URL string from which to retrieve team standings. Like live_url, this value should not need to be changed.
log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

class i3pystatus.scores.nhl.NHL[source]¶

Backend to retrieve NHL scores. For usage examples, see here.

Available formatters

{home_name} — Name of home team
{home_city} — Name of home team’s city
{home_abbrev} — 3-letter abbreviation for home team’s city
{home_score} — Home team’s current score
{home_wins} — Home team’s number of wins
{home_losses} — Home team’s number of losses
{home_otl} — Home team’s number of overtime losses
{home_favorite} — Displays the value for the scores module’s favorite attribute, if the home team is one of the teams being followed. Otherwise, this formatter will be blank.
{home_empty_net} — Shows the value from the empty_net parameter when the home team’s net is empty.
{away_name} — Name of away team
{away_city} — Name of away team’s city
{away_abbrev} — 2 or 3-letter abbreviation for away team’s city
{away_score} — Away team’s current score

{away_losses} — Away team’s number of losses
{away_otl} — Away team’s number of overtime losses
{away_favorite} — Displays the value for the scores module’s favorite attribute, if the away team is one of the teams being followed. Otherwise, this formatter will be blank.

{period} — Current period
{venue} — Name of arena where game is being played
{start_time} — Start time of game in system’s localtime (supports strftime formatting, e.g. {start_time:%I:%M %p})
{overtime} — If the game ended in overtime or a shootout, this formatter will show OT kor SO. If the game ended in regulation, or has not yet completed, this formatter will be blank.

Playoffs

In the playoffs, losses are not important (as the losses will be equal to the other team’s wins). Therefore, it is a good idea during the playoffs to manually set format strings to exclude information on team losses. For example:

from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.scores import nhl

status = Status()
status.register(
    'scores',
    hints={'markup': 'pango'},
    colorize_teams=True,
    favorite_icon='<span size="small" color="#F5FF00">★</span>',
    backends=[
        nhl.NHL(
            favorite_teams=['CHI'],
            format_pregame = '[{scroll} ]NHL: [{away_favorite} ]{away_abbrev} ({away_wins}) at [{home_favorite} ]{home_abbrev} ({home_wins}) {start_time:%H:%M %Z}',
            format_final = '[{scroll} ]NHL: [{away_favorite} ]{away_abbrev} {away_score} ({away_wins}) at [{home_favorite} ]{home_abbrev} {home_score} ({home_wins}) (Final[/{overtime}])',
        ),
    ],
)

Like live_url, this value should not need to be changed.
log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

Update Backends¶

aptget
cower
dnf
pacman
yaourt

class i3pystatus.updates.aptget.AptGet[source]¶

Gets update count for Debian based distributions.

This mimics the Arch Linux checkupdates script but with apt-get and written in python.

Settings

log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

class i3pystatus.updates.cower.Cower[source]¶

Checks for updates in Arch User Repositories using the cower AUR helper.

Depends on cower AUR agent - https://github.com/falconindy/cower

Settings

log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

class i3pystatus.updates.dnf.Dnf[source]¶

Gets updates for RPM-based distributions with dnf check-update.

The notification body consists of the status line followed by the package name and version for each update.

https://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html#check-update-command

Settings

log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

class i3pystatus.updates.pacman.Pacman[source]¶

Checks for updates in Arch Linux repositories using the checkupdates script which is part of the pacman package.

Settings

log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

class i3pystatus.updates.yaourt.Yaourt[source]¶

This module counts the available updates using yaourt. By default it will only count aur packages. Thus it can be used with the pacman backend like this:

from i3pystatus.updates import pacman, yaourt
status.register("updates", backends = [pacman.Pacman(), yaourt.Yaourt()])

If you want to count both pacman and aur packages with this module you can set the variable count_only_aur = False like this:

from i3pystatus.updates import yaourt
status.register("updates", backends = [yaourt.Yaourt(False)])

Settings

log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

Weather Backends¶

weathercom
wunderground

class i3pystatus.weather.weathercom.Weathercom[source]¶

This module gets the weather from weather.com. The location_code parameter should be set to the location code from weather.com. To obtain this code, search for the location on weather.com, and the location code will be everything after the last slash (e.g. 94107:4:US).

Usage example

from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.weather import weathercom

status = Status()

status.register(
    'weather',
    format='{condition} {current_temp}{temp_unit}{icon}[ Hi: {high_temp}] Lo: {low_temp}',
    colorize=True,
    backend=weathercom.Weathercom(
        location_code='94107:4:US',
        units='imperial',
    ),
)

status.run()

See here for a list of formatters which can be used.

Settings

location_code (required) – Location code from www.weather.com
units (default: metric) – ‘metric’ or ‘imperial’
log_level (default: 30) – Set to true to log error to .i3pystatus-<pid> file.

weather_data()[source]¶: Fetches the current weather from wxdata.weather.com service.

class i3pystatus.weather.wunderground.Wunderground[source]¶

This module retrieves weather data using the Weather Underground API.

Note

A Weather Underground API key is required to use this module, you can sign up for a developer API key free at https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/

A developer API key is allowed 500 queries per day, and no more than 10 in a given minute. Therefore, it is recommended to be conservative when setting the update interval.

Valid values for location_code include:

State/City_Name - CA/San_Francisco
Country/City - France/Paris
Geolocation by IP - autoip
Zip or Postal Code - 60616
ICAO Airport Code - icao:LAX
Latitude/Longitude - 41.8301943,-87.6342619
Personal Weather Station (PWS) - pws:KILCHICA30

When not using a pws or icao station ID, the location will be queried, and the closest station will be used. For a list of PWS station IDs, visit the following URL:

http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/ListStations.asp

Usage example

from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.weather import wunderground

status = Status()

status.register(
    'weather',
    format='{condition} {current_temp}{temp_unit}{icon}[ Hi: {high_temp}] Lo: {low_temp}',
    colorize=True,
    backend=wunderground.Wunderground(
        api_key='dbafe887d56ba4ad',
        location_code='pws:MAT645',

Creating modules¶

Creating new modules (“things that display something”) to contribute to i3pystatus is reasonably easy. If the module you want to write updates it’s info periodically, like checking for a network link or displaying the status of some service, then we have prepared common tools for this which make this even easier:

Common base classes: Module for everything and IntervalModule specifically for the aforementioned usecase of updating stuff periodically.
Settings (already built into above classes) allow you to easily specify user-modifiable attributes of your class for configuration.

See SettingsBase for details.
For modules that require credentials, it is recommended to add a keyring_backend setting to allow users to specify their own backends for retrieving sensitive credentials.

Required settings and default values are also handled.

Check out i3pystatus’ source code for plenty of (simple) examples on how to build modules.

The settings system is built to ease documentation. If you specify two-tuples like ("setting", "description") then Sphinx will automatically generate a nice table listing each option, it’s default value and description.

The docstring of your module class is automatically used as the reStructuredText description for your module in the README file.

See also

SettingsBase for a detailed description of the settings system

Handling Dependencies¶

To make it as easy as possible to use i3pystatus we explicitly document all dependencies in the docstring of a module.

The wording usually used goes like this:

Requires the PyPI package `colour`

To allow automatic generation of the docs without having all requirements of every module installed mocks are used. To make this work simply add all modules of dependencies (so no standard library modules or modules provided by i3pystatus) you import to the MOCK_MODULES list in docs/conf.py. This needs to be the actual name of the imported module, so for example if you have from somepkg.mod import AClass, you need to add somepkg.mod to the list.

Testing changes¶

i3pystatus uses continuous integration (CI) techniques, which means in our case that every patch and every pull request is tested automatically. While Travis is used for automatic building of GitHub pull requests it is not the authorative CI system (which is Der Golem) for the main repository.

The ci-build.sh script needs to run successfully for a patch to be accepted. It can be run on your machine, too, so you don’t need to wait for the often slow Travis build to complete. It does not require any special privileges, except write access to the ci-build directory (a different build directory can be specified as the first parameter to ci-build.sh).

The script tests the following things:

PEP8 compliance of the entire codebase, excluding errors of too long lines (error code E501). Line lengths of about 120 characters are acceptable.
That setup.py installs i3pystatus and related binaries (into a location below the build directory)

Parameters:	modules – dict-like object with item access semantics via .get() io_handler_factory – function creating a file-like object returning a JSON generator on .read()

start()[source]¶: Starts the background thread

class i3pystatus.core.Status(standalone=True, click_events=True, interval=1, input_stream=None, logfile=None, internet_check=None, logformat='%(asctime)s [%(levelname)-8s][%(name)s %(lineno)d] %(message)s')[source]¶

Bases: object

The main class used for registering modules and managing I/O

Parameters:

Parameters:	standalone (bool) – Whether i3pystatus should read i3status-compatible input from input_stream. interval (int) – Update interval in seconds. input_stream – A file-like object that provides the input stream, if standalone is False. click_events (bool) – Enable click events, if standalone is True. logfile (str) – Path to log file that will be used by i3pystatus. internet_check (tuple) – Address of server that will be used to check for internet connection by `internet`.

standalone (bool) – Whether i3pystatus should read i3status-compatible input from input_stream.
interval (int) – Update interval in seconds.
input_stream – A file-like object that provides the input stream, if standalone is False.
click_events (bool) – Enable click events, if standalone is True.
logfile (str) – Path to log file that will be used by i3pystatus.
internet_check (tuple) – Address of server that will be used to check for internet connection by internet.

register(module, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Parameters:	module – Either a string module name, or a module class, or a module instance (in which case args and kwargs are invalid). kwargs – Settings for the module.
Returns:	module instance

run()[source]¶: Run main loop.

`color` Module¶

class i3pystatus.core.color.ColorRangeModule[source]¶

Bases: object

Class to dynamically generate and select colors.

Requires the PyPI package colour

end_color = 'red'¶

get_gradient(value, colors, upper_limit=100)[source]¶: Map a value to a color :param value: Some value :return: A Hex color code

static get_hex_color_range(start_color, end_color, quantity)[source]¶

Generates a list of quantity Hex colors from start_color to end_color.

Parameters:	start_color – Hex or plain English color for start of range end_color – Hex or plain English color for end of range quantity – Number of colours to return
Returns:	A list of Hex color values

start_color = '#00FF00'¶

`command` Module¶

i3pystatus.core.command.CommandResult¶: alias of Result

i3pystatus.core.command.execute(command, detach=False)[source]¶

Runs a command in background. No output is retrieved. Useful for running GUI applications that would block click events.

Parameters:	command – A string or a list of strings containing the name and arguments of the program. detach – If set to True the program will be executed using the i3-msg command. As a result the program is executed independent of i3pystatus as a child of i3 process. Because of how i3-msg parses its arguments the type of command is limited to string in this mode.

i3pystatus.core.command.run_through_shell(command, enable_shell=False)[source]¶

Retrieve output of a command. Returns a named tuple with three elements:

rc (integer) Return code of command.
out (string) Everything that was printed to stdout.
err (string) Everything that was printed to stderr.

Don’t use this function with programs that outputs lots of data since the output is saved in one variable.

Parameters:	command – A string or a list of strings containing the name and arguments of the program. enable_shell – If set ot True users default shell will be invoked and given `command` to execute. The `command` should obviously be a string since shell does all the parsing.

Bases: object

Class to display a desktop notification

Parameters:

Parameters:	title – Title of the notification body – Body text of the notification, depending on the users system configuration HTML may be used, but is not recommended icon – A XDG icon name, see http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html urgency – A value between 1 and 3 with 1 meaning low urgency and 3 high urgency. timeout – Timeout in seconds for the notification.

I/O handler for standalone usage of i3pystatus (w/o i3status)

Writing works as usual, but reading will always return a empty JSON array, and the i3bar protocol header

async_refresh()[source]¶: Calling this method will send the status line to i3bar immediately without waiting for timeout (1s by default).

compute_treshold_interval()[source]¶: Current method is to compute average from all intervals.

n = -1¶

proto = [{'version': 1, 'click_events': True}, '[', '[]', ',[]']¶

read()[source]¶

read_line()[source]¶

refresh_signal_handler(signo, frame)[source]¶

This callback is called when SIGUSR1 signal is received.

It updates outputs of all modules by calling their run method.

Interval modules are updated in separate threads if their interval is above a certain treshold value. This treshold is computed by compute_treshold_interval() class method. The reasoning is that modules with larger intervals also usually take longer to refresh their output and that their output is not required in ‘real time’. This also prevents possible lag when updating all modules in a row.

`modules` Module¶

inject(json)[source]¶

move(position)[source]¶

multi_click_timeout = 0.25¶

on_click(button, **kwargs)[source]¶

Maps a click event with its associated callback.

Middle click	on_middleclick	2
Right click	on_rightclick	3
Scroll up	on_upscroll	4
Scroll down	on_downscroll	5
Others	on_otherclick	> 5

The action is determined by the nature (type and value) of the callback setting in the following order:

If null callback (None), no action is taken.
If it’s a python function, call it and pass any additional arguments.
If it’s name of a member method of current module (string), call it and pass any additional arguments.
If the name does not match with member method name execute program with such name.

class i3pystatus.core.util.TimeWrapper(seconds, default_format='%m:%S')[source]¶

Bases: object

A wrapper that implements __format__ and __bool__ for time differences and time spans.

Parameters:	seconds – seconds (numeric) default_format – the default format to be used if no explicit format_spec is passed to __format__

Format string syntax:

%h, %m and %s are the hours, minutes and seconds without leading zeros (i.e. 0 to 59 for minutes and seconds)
%H, %M and %S are padded with a leading zero to two digits, i.e. 00 to 59
%l and %L produce hours non-padded and padded but only if hours is not zero. If the hours are zero it produces an empty string.
%% produces a literal %
%E (only valid on beginning of the string) if the time is null, don’t format anything but rather produce an empty string. If the time is non-null it is removed from the string.

The formatted string is stripped, i.e. spaces on both ends of the result are removed

Parameters:	l – list of arbitrary types and lists
Returns:	list of arbitrary types

i3pystatus.core.util.formatp(string, **kwargs)[source]¶

Function for advanced format strings with partial formatting

This function consumes format strings with groups enclosed in brackets. A group enclosed in brackets will only become part of the result if all fields inside the group evaluate True in boolean contexts.

Groups can be nested. The fields in a nested group do not count as fields in the enclosing group, i.e. the enclosing group will evaluate to an empty string even if a nested group would be eligible for formatting. Nesting is thus equivalent to a logical or of all enclosing groups with the enclosed group.

Escaped brackets, i.e. \[ and \] are copied verbatim to output.

Parameters:	string – Format string kwargs – keyword arguments providing data for the format string
Returns:	Formatted string

i3pystatus.core.util.get_module(function)[source]¶

Function decorator for retrieving the self argument from the stack.

Intended for use with callbacks that need access to a modules variables, for example:

from i3pystatus import Status, get_module
from i3pystatus.core.command import execute
status = Status(...)
# other modules etc.
@get_module
def display_ip_verbose(module):
    execute('sh -c "ip addr show dev {dev} | xmessage -file -"'.format(dev=module.interface))
status.register("network", interface="wlan1", on_leftclick=display_ip_verbose)
