Claude Code status lines written in Python
3 of the gallery's 23 status lines are written in Python. Updated 2026-07-06.
Python status lines trade a runtime dependency for readable string formatting and real data structures. If your status line is turning into a program, this is the sensible language for it.
Each config's page lists exactly what it needs; most run on a stock python3 with no packages.
