pywmii - simple pythonic WMII framework

Introduction

PyWMII is a 100% python framework for configuring and driving the revolutionary wmii X window manager.

It is a completely separate offering to python-wmii; although it borrows a little bit of python-wmii's back-end code, it presents a completely different API.

With PyWMII, you get a comfortable python environment within which you can control virtually all controllable aspects of WMII, and an API which gives you this control through very familiar and understandable Python idioms.

Features

• An object wrapper for the plan9 filesystem which controls wmii
• A collection of objects for interfacing with wmii. Each object has a suite of very handy methods and 'magic attributes', for driving WMII and your windows in a very high-level fashion. Refer to the API manual for more details.
• Easy to perform basic configuration, such as colours, key bindings, window tag assignments etc
• Easy to implement your own event handlers, and even your own event loop, so you can build any amount of intelligence into your own pywmii setup
• Above all, PyWMII is very easy to learn
