I don't know about hard to have the feature, but the steps I would probably
do (going off of `widget/battery.py` in the repository) is to:
1) Create a `class _MultipleBatteries(_Battery)` class for multiple
batteries, which would take as input a list of battery config dictionaries
and a function that takes in a list of `BatteryStatus` objects and returns
some "average" of them as a new `BatteryStatus` object. This latter
function would effectively set the `update_status` method for
`_MultipleBatteries`.
2) edit `load_battery` so that it will correctly return the correct
`_Battery` object.
So pseudo code:
def load_battery(**config) -> _Battery:
"""Default battery loading function
Loads and returns the _Battery interface suitable for the current
running
platform.
Parameters
----------
config: Dictionary of config options that are passed to the generated
battery.
Return
------
The configured _Battery for the current platform.
"""
system = platform.system()
+ if 'batteries' in config.keys():
+ return _MultipleBatteres(**config)
~ elif system == "FreeBSD":
return _FreeBSDBattery(str(config["battery"]))
elif system == "Linux":
return _LinuxBattery(**config)
else:
raise RuntimeError("Unknown platform!")
+ class _MultipleBatteries(_Battery):
+
+ def __init__(self, config: dict) -> None:
+ self.battery_function: Callable[List[BatteryStatus],
BatteryStatus] = config['battery_function']
+ self.batteries = []
+ for bat in config['batteries']:
+ self.batteries.append(load_battery(**bat))
+
+ def update_status(self):
+ statuses = []
+ for battery in self.batteries:
+ statuses.append(battery.update_status)
+ return self.battery_function(statuses)
Unfortunately I don't have time to tackle this myself, but hopefully this
will provide enough info for someone to be able to implement and test it.
