OK so a couple of things here:
1) That $(cat...) syntax is really shell syntax so I don't think works in
python. Even if it could, I'd recommend writing this in a more pythonic
(sorry, hate that word) way.
2) You don't need notify-send as qtile has a notification utility
So... this is untested but hopefully will get you on your way:
from libqtile.utils import send_notification
def right_clicked():
# Read your file and store contents in a variable
with open("/tmp/network.tmp", "r") as tmpfile:
tmp = tmpfile.read()
# Send the notification - you could replace this with subprocess
calling "notify-send" if you'd prefer!
send_notification("Title here", tmp)from libqtile.utils import
send_notification
def right_click():
with open("/tmp/network.tmp", "r") as tmpfile:
tmp = tmpfile.read()
send_notification("Title here", tmp)
Your mouse_callback could then just be "Button3": right_clicked
Probably lots of bugs here but that's how I'd look to do it.
