This is a simple python wrapper around dwm.
It compiles dwm as a shared library, provides a pydwm module and a pydwm console script that calls pydwm's init_dwm function.
The main reason for doing this is to faciliate creating a startup script for DWM, without having to add something like adding python my_scripy.py & dwm to ~/.xinitrc, which results in some lingering processes when logging out.
With this, you can start dwm from a python script, and spawn sub-processes / threads or whatever you want.
To build this, you'll need the source code for some libraries DWM requires. On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev
python -m pytest
