Addresses #198.
This was a feature released in 1.3.0 (see changelog), but then regressed by a merge request in 2.0.1, #116
Someone must have realized that this replacement method was a bad idea, because the current branch is back to using the
i3/sway --get-socketpathmethod. This revert was however incomplete, as the method added to #116 still remains, along with thepython-xlibdependency.Anyhow, the pull request purges any use of
python-xlib. It's still used in testing, but there the package is separately installed when creating the docker testing image.TL;DR: Don't accept pull request by script kiddies that address non-existent issues, regress features, and add package dependencies; all in the name of "removing a subprocess call" by replacing it with 5 method calls to
python-xlib.
