cpywm

cpywm - CPython powered window manager

cpywm is CPython powered tiling window manager for x11. It's entirely configured with Python and uses CPython pure embedding.

Running cpywm will expose a cpywm module in Python which can be used by Python code to create configurations that the window manager will then subsequently use.

Requirements

• CPython 3.7
• Xlib header files

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/mental32/cpywm
• cd cpywm
• sudo make install

Running cpywm

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start cpywm using startx:

• exec cpywm

In order to connect cpywm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

• DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec cpywm

This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.

Configuration

The configuration of cpywm is done by creating a custom Python package and supplying cpywm an import path or a file path.

• exec cpywm ~/.config/cpywm/config.py

If no config was supplied cpywm will use the (default configuration)[./default.py]
