A work in progress window manager written in pure python.

Current Features:

• virtual desktops
• focus stack
• window maximisation/moving/resizing
• cairo drawn widgets/window decorations
• user configuration
• probably more... you'll have to check it out!

Work on the current version has been halted. We are now ~looking to write~ writing an xcb based window manager.

samurai-x is written entirely in python using ctypes. The xlib module is from http://pyglet.org and the cairo module is generated by pyglet tools - so big respect to pyglet!

samurai-x is very easy to extend and customise so its suitable for prototyping, using as a real window manager or just to learn about xlib programming.

samurai-x was originally based on code from http://awesome.naquadah.org/ ( although there is little resemblance now ). Also viewing the code from http://fluxbox.org has been an essential resource.
