[DITCHED] awesomewm powerline

I am struggling to get this to work.
I have followed the docs (not that there are many!)

added:

package.path = package.path .. ';/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/powerline/bindings/awesome/powerline-awesome.py'
require('powerline')

and called it with

right_layout:add(powerline_widget)

but I get errors:

the error points to line 2 in this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# vim:fileencoding=utf-8:noet
from __future__ import (unicode_literals, division, absolute_import, print_function)

import sys

from time import sleep
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE

from powerline import Powerline
from powerline.lib.monotonic import monotonic

powerline = Powerline('wm', renderer_module='pango_markup')
powerline.update_renderer()

try:
	interval = float(sys.argv[1])
except IndexError:
	interval = 2


def read_to_log(pl, client):
	for line in client.stdout:
		if line:
			pl.info(line, prefix='awesome-client')
	for line in client.stderr:
		if line:
			pl.error(line, prefix='awesome-client')
	if client.wait():
		pl.error('Client exited with {0}', client.returncode, prefix='awesome')


while True:
	start_time = monotonic()
	s = powerline.render(side='right')
	request = 'powerline_widget:set_markup(\'' + s.replace('\\', '\\\\').replace('\'', '\\\'') + '\')\n'
	client = Popen(['awesome-client'], shell=False, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, stdin=PIPE)
	client.stdin.write(request.encode('utf-8'))
	client.stdin.close()
	read_to_log(powerline.pl, client)
	sleep(max(interval - (monotonic() - start_time), 0.1))

Has anyone ever got this to work & can you give me some pointers?

I would also like to point out that I have heard of powerarrow darker etc but I'd much rather have powerline in the method I am attempting.

EDIT: added powerline-awesome.py
EDIT:
mod please move to trash can
