Tobi-wan Kenobi fe5bbd4b46 [modules/kernel] Use Python standard module "platform"
Instead of executing an external call to "uname", use the standard
Python module "platform" to retrieve information about the kernel used.

Positive side-effect: This is portable, if i3 ever exists on Windows :P

Installation

$ git clone git://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status

Usage

Next, open your i3wm configuration and modify the status_command for your i3bar like this:

bar {
	status_command = <path to bumblebee-status/bumblebee-status> -m <list of modules> -p <list of module parameters> -t <theme>
}

You can retrieve a list of modules and themes by entering:

$ cd bumblebee-status
$ ./bumblebee-status -l themes
$ ./bumblebee-status -l modules

As a simple example, this is what my i3 configuration looks like:

bar {
	font pango:Inconsolata 10
	position top
	tray_output none
	status_command ~/.i3/bumblebee-status/bumblebee-status -m nic disk:root cpu memory battery date time pasink pasource dnf -p root.path=/ time.format="%H:%M CW %V" date.format="%a, %b %d %Y" -t solarized-powerline
}

Restart i3wm and - that's it!
