py3status v1.1

I'm glad to announce the v1.1 release of py3status, roughly 6 months after v1.0 which features some nice and often contributed bug fixes and some exciting new features !

fixes / enhancements¶

allow float on refresh interval option
fix respect user's locale for time transformation
fix i3status time adjustment when format does not contain the necessary items to get an exact datetime
fix delay on py3status start waiting for i3status, this caused a useless first refresh delay of py3status of i3status interval seconds
fix first click event opening line detection
redirect stdout and stderr to null to suppress modules outputs, this prevents i3bar from frezzing when a user module prints something to stdout or stderr, more info

features¶

Thanks to py3status, you can now take action on clicks made on your i3status modules !

the new i3bar_click_events.py module allows you to implement some actions when clicking on your i3bar modules
more info in the wiki and in the source code of the module

new modules¶

new generic click event handler using the special module file named i3bar_click_events.py which will be forwarded any orphan click event for action
new example module displaying Yahoo Weather forcast
new example whoami displaying the currently logged in user, inspired by user request on i3 FAQ

contributors¶

Thanks a lot for their issues ranging from #15 to #20 with feedback, proposals and pull requests !
