#  To make bandwidth monitor visible you need to put "[bandwidth]"

#-------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# History:
#
# 2020-09-05, mumixam
#     version 1.1: add python3 support while still supporting python2
# 2011-12-02, quazgaa <quazgaa@gmail.com>
#     version 1.0: Complete rewrite.  Make script more featureful, robust, and accurate.
#                  Thanks to FlashCode and ze for helping debug.
# 2011-11-29, quazgaa <quazgaa@gmail.com>
#     version 0.2.1: fixed: take refresh_rate into account for bandwidth calculation
# 2009-10-15, xt <xt@bash.no>:
#     version 0.2: error checking from output command
# 2009-10-14, xt <xt@bash.no>:
#     version 0.1: initial release inspired by nils' perl script
#
