Registering a module within a Group: AttributeError: 'Group' object has no attribute 'default_hints'

[David Antliff]

I'm looking to use the Group from #568 module with i3pystatus 5348220 (v3.35) from the head of the current branch:

from i3pystatus import Status
from i3pystatus.group import Group

group = Group()
group.register("clock")
status.register(group)

This results in the following traceback (I have a dedicated venv for i3pystatus):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/david/.config/i3/i3pystatus.conf", line 55, in <module>
    group.register("clock")
  File "/home/david/.config/i3/i3pystatus-venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/i3pystatus/group.py", line 49, in register
    module = Status.register(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/home/david/.config/i3/i3pystatus-venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/i3pystatus/core/__init__.py", line 116, in register
    hints = self.default_hints.copy() if self.default_hints else {}
AttributeError: 'Group' object has no attribute 'default_hints'

I see this error with other modules like "network" as well as "clock".

I got it to work* after applying #862 and adding group.run() and status.run()

• = when Status has no default_hints passed
