Thanks, but not helped... The "year" is still on the second line.

lets try adding the space in the script after each month eg. ('Jan ','Feb '), and removing single space in billboard immediately before {year} incase thats somehow breaking line

also adding +chr(0) after print function to remove spaces

try this as a test, in principle. (i know its not right language)

but it works here:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
from datetime import datetime

months = ['Jan ','Feb ','Mar ','Apr ','May ','Jun ','Jul ','Aug ','Sep ','Oct ','Nov ','Dec ']
month = months[datetime.now().month-1]
print (month)+chr(0)

billboard:

Code:

...etc...
{day} {script: python /home/user/my_month_he.py}{year}
{ip}
...etc...

p.s. if your script is is /home/user directory, no need to specify path in billboard, just {script: python my_month_he.py} will suffice!

If you type in BB

Code:

{script:echo -ne \xF0\x9F\x94\x93}

...the result is a box? Then your font doesn't support it.

But now I see year in the second line.. In previous version of script (when it worked) it shown year also in the first line with day of week, date, name of month..
Can i somehow get the year in the first line too ?
Thanks

Use stdout instead of print to get rid of the new line or print the year in the script with:

Code:

datetime.now().year

Thanks, i still try both options, but later when i will open my PC. For some reasons if i edit this script on the phone, script stop to work.. Probably somehow encoding changed when i save file.

Ok, tested...
Quaddy, I just added "print month+chr(0)" and it did a job! Now show like I want. Thanks

Not needed spaces in month names and not needed removing single space in billboard immediately before {year}

Probably in my first test I forgot to add "+"...

slarti, using "stdout month" instead "print month" - the month name disappeared.
Adding "print datetime.now().year" - the year also appeared on the second line

Schturman, try 'printf' instead of 'print' in your script.
But why not handle the whole date in the script, that'd for sure give you 1 line?

Started using a theme today and the billboard info is misaligned. It's pushed to the right and the info is cutoff a lot. Is there some kind of fix for this?
