I was just going to say it works fine here when I saw your reply.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Thinking out loud: I wonder why they wouldn't make python backwards comparable?

EDIT: I Forgot - Thanks for the script ichase!

Well, to be honest, you do have tools like 2to3 which I suppose is to help you convert python2 to python3 syntax. I have no idea if it actually works though.

There were some new things, like making print a function, which would raise problems with compatibility I suppose. I guess you could solve it by declaring which version of the language should be used in the head of the file or something, but that'd just open another ugly door imo (I might be way out of my league here though).

If I were to guess, I think most of the changes are to make the language more uniform, so the same structure can be applied pretty much everywhere.

Basically:

a = "There are many people"
print a.split()

Becomes:

a = "There are many people"
print(a.split())

Personally, I think the latter example is easier to grasp, while the former might be easier to read. I'm just an amateur though, so other people might think different.

Further reading about the changes can be found here I think, and that might address more issues between python2 and 3: http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html

^^ @ zom

I understand what you are saying and to a programmer the difference may or may not be liked/welcome. I'm NOT a programmer and really don't understand.

But I can't help think of all the python2 apps/scripts out there that now will not work in ARCH.

A shame.

Zom · 2011-10-21 19:26:36

I suppose it'll go the same way as GTK/GTK2 and Qt3/Qt4. The applications will either be ported or declared deprecated after a while.

Just like with GTK, applications can still exist and use the old toolkit without trouble (GTK is still in extra, for example). Python2 is still under active development, if I understand things correctly, and probably will be for a while. Things will move on though, and sooner or later things will have to be ported or rewritten as things phase out and become unsupported.

It's a shame that good software runs the risk of dying out because a change like this, but at the same time, it forces active maintenance. It's not just a bad thing, and it's not just a good thing.

And for something more on topic, the python2 scripts will still work just fine if you install the relevant python2 packages and remember to change python to python2 in $exec in the conkyrc, and I'm sure they will continue to work for quite a while.

I know this is an old post, but how do I get the green border in tint2 for the workspaces? Which specific line does that?

A shame.

There is a tool that "should" convert python2 to python3.

http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html

I have yet to try it out but worth a look.

Edit: Saw it was posted above me. Sorry for the double post.

Question about lua, Which package in the AUR is most compatible with conky-all? From what I am hearing on the #! conky forum is that conky-all is required to run lau scripts in conky. I also heard that installing lau is not enough for conky to recognize the lua script once called to it with-in the .conkyrc.

I looked in the AUR list and there is a lot of different conky files, one inparticular the conky-lau 1.8.1-3. Would this one enable the use of lau where is just installing regular conky will not?

Hope that was not confusing.

Thanks,

Ian

I am not 100% about this but I would assume that is the case as the description of the conky-lua package says:

An advanced, highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo, with lua bindings enabled.

Thanks for the response SB, with that being said, should I "Uninstall" conky then "Install" conky-lua from the AUR?

Thanks,

Looks nice, but the rpm logo beside the ram/swap should be used for fan speeds instead.

There is a nice script for conky slideshow here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=76964 (I haven't tried this tho)
The same script was posted also on the ubuntu forum, and I found an interesting variation there:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ost7831786
I like the second approach better, but be aware that there will be spikes in your CPU utilization at every refresh. Nicing the process helps a bit.

For conky users who use gedit or medit.

I have updated the "conkyrc.lang" file that gedit and medit uses to colour code the conky syntax according to what the variables and settings were as of 11/11/11. Almost 100 lines added to the file!

Tested with:

medit v1.0.3
medit v1.0.5
gedit v2.30.4
gedit v3.0.6-2

You can grab the file here: (the same for both)
gedit and conky and medit and conky

Things to note:

medit does NOT "remember" files like gedit, other than "conkyrc" or what you set it to - yet,
medit has one option as to where to place the conkyrc.lang file
as shown on the medit page, you can change the automatic selection of what files get colour coded
gedit has various locations for the conkyrc.lang file, it depends in which version of gedit you use as well.

Special thanks for VastOne's help with medit.

Nice conky. Pretty slick. Looks like you have a little overlapping though on the top_mem stuff. Maybe an alignr for the middle one too would fix it.

Sharing my desktop as a user from another thread emailed me asking for it. I thought this would be a nice place to share it as I got some of the ideas from this one thread. Hope someone likes it:

Config files:

conky_main
conky_rings (Not so an accurate filename, sorry. It's the conky on right-bottom corner - time, calendar...)
draw_bg.lua
rings.lua

Wallpaper:

Cheers:)
