  "github_readme_excerpt": "Powerline\n=========\n\n**Powerline is a statusline plugin for vim, and provides statuslines and \nprompts for several other applications, including zsh, bash, fish, tmux,\nIPython, Awesome, i3 and Qtile.**\n\n+---------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Author  | Kim Silkeb\u00e6kken (kim.silkebaekken+vim@gmail.com)  |\n+---------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Source  | https://github.com/powerline/powerline            |\n+---------+---------------------------------------------------+\n| Version | beta                                              |\n+---------+---------------------------------------------------+\n\n**Powerline does not support python2 anymore and powerline will stop working with python2 in the near future.**\n\nFeatures\n--------\n\n* **Extensible and feature rich, written in Python.** Powerline was \n  completely rewritten in Python to get rid of as much vimscript as \n  possible. This has allowed much better extensibility, leaner and better \n  config files, and a structured, object-oriented codebase with no mandatory\n  third-party dependencies other than a Python interpreter.\n* **Stable and testable code base.** Using Python has allowed unit testing \n  of all the project code. The code is tested to work in Python 3.6+.\n* **Support for prompts and statuslines in many applications.** Originally \n  created exclusively for vim statuslines, the project has evolved to \n  provide statuslines in tmux and several WMs, and prompts for shells like \n  bash/zsh and other applications. It\u2019s simple to write renderers for any \n  other applications that Powerline doesn\u2019t yet support.\n* **Configuration and colorschemes written in JSON.** JSON is \n  a standardized, simple and easy to use file format that allows for easy \n  user configuration across all of Powerline\u2019s supported applications.\n* **Fast and lightweight, with daemon support for even better performance.**\n  Although the code base spans a couple of thousand lines of code with no \n  go",
