i use pycalendar and this is how i call it..
widget.Clock(
foreground = colors[9],
background = colors[0],
mouse_callbacks = {"Button1": calendar},
format = "%a, %b %d | %l:%M:%S ",
padding = 5
),
then i have this in my callbacks..
def calendar():
qtile.cmd_spawn("./.config/qtile/scripts/calendar/calendar.sh")
