A pub-sub framework written in python for processing data from multiple sources.
I needed a status bar generation program. Overkill can listen on multiple system data sources (pipes, watched directories, timers, etc.), and forward this information on to data processors. On my system, these data processors pipe the provided data to my status bar and to notifications (for email).
TODO: Document more. In the meantime, you can read my related blog post: http://stebalien.com/posts/2013/11/overkill/
