Title module gives nothing

I wish to have the title module actually display the name of the window, but it only gives n/a, regardless of what I try.

I do have i3ipc installed, as I tested it by importing it in a python prompt.

Here’s the bar bit of my i3 config:

bar
{
	# Position
	position top

	# Assume that bumblebee-status is cloned in the home directory
	status_command $HOME/bumblebee-status/bumblebee-status -m title weather battery caffeine redshift brightness pasink datetime -p interval=0.5 datetime.format="%a, %d %b '%y | %H:%M:%S" -t gruvbox-powerline

	colors {
		background $bg-color
		separator #757575
		#                  border             background         text
		focused_workspace  $border-color      $bg-color          $text-color
		inactive_workspace $inactive-bg-color $inactive-bg-color $inactive-text-color
		urgent_workspace   $urgent-bg-color   $urgent-bg-color   $text-color
	}
}

Your hunches were completely correct. pip was defaulted to install packages into the Anaconda2 directory. I explicitly installed python3-pip and installed that version of i3ipc. I also needed to explicitly prefix the status_command with python3, and it now works like a charm.

I hope that you add a little bit of documentation describing this for future people. Hopefully no headaches were caused on your parts due to this. Thanks.

EDIT: I removed the git version, and am now using my distribution’s package. I didn’t have to prefix it in that case.

I’m having the same issue on Debian (Stretch) using i3-gaps and I would like to contribute also

EDIT: I was missing i3ipc module, pip3 install i3ipc solved the issue for me
