xpyb
-------

Either ``xpyb-ng`` or ``xpyb`` versions >= 1.3.1 should work. The ``xpyb``
build itself has historically had some package config issues, so we provide
xpyb-ng for people who want to use setuptools. (The implementations are also
slightly different, but users have reported that qtile is stable on either
fork.) For users with a system version of ``xcb-proto`` < 1.7, xpyb will not
build correctly (you get an ``AttributeError: 'ListType' object has no
attribute 'parent'``). However, xpyb-ng provides a branch called
``pre-1.7-xproto`` which has a hack to fix this issue.

.. code-block:: bash
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xcb/xpyb
cd xpyb
cd xpyb && ./autogen.sh
./configure
make install
.. clode-block:: bash
git clone git@github.com:tych0/xpyb-ng.git
cd xpyb-ng
python setup.py install
