+i3's interprocess communication (or ipc) is the interface
+i3wm uses to receive commands from client applications such
+as i3-msg. It also features a publish/subscribe mechanism for
+notifying interested parties of window manager events.
+
+i3ipc-python is a Python library for controlling the window
+manager. This project is intended to be useful for general
+scripting, and for applications that interact with the window
+manager like status line generators, notification daemons,
+and window pagers.
