par-term 0.46.0

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Example par-term status-bar widget plugin: a clock.

Self-scheduled (v1 plugins receive no events): reads its settings from
``--par-term-settings <json>`` on argv, then emits a ``SetWidget`` line
once per second. par-term closes the plugin's stdin on stop, which ends
the stdin watcher thread and lets the loop exit cleanly.

Install (see docs/features/PLUGINS.md):
    cp -r scripts/examples/plugins/com.example.clock \
        ~/.config/par-term/plugins/

then enable it in Settings > Automation > Plugins.
