i3situation config and plugin discussion

Hello everyone,

I have been working on a program called i3situation for a few months now and feel it is ready to properly share with people.

It is a replacement for i3status that uses plugins in order to provide functionality. It is really easy to write your own plugins, in python, and I am always looking for new ones to add to the repo.

Here is a link to my configuration, it works with version 1.0.3.

i3situation is available on the AUR as: i3situation-git

It would be great to start a discussion about your configurations, plugins or any suggestions that you may have.

actually i got one, already. after todays python update, i3situation stopped working

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/i3situation", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2749, in <module>
    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 444, in _build_master
    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 725, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 628, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: i3situation==1.0.2

i am not sure, if this is a problem with i3situation or python, but the bar has disappeared downgrading all python packages helps for the moment...

I think this is a weird issue relating to pkg_resources. I will look into it when I have a little more time.

For now, deleting i3situation from site-packages, removing the "binary" from /usr/bin and then reinstalling should fix it.
