output = subprocess.check_output(['istats', 'cpu'])
output1 = subprocess.check_output(['istats', 'fan'])
output2 = subprocess.check_output(['istats', 'battery'])

print(new_output.replace('For more stats run `istats extra` and follow the instructions.', ''))
time.sleep(5)
os.system('clear')

Setup

Start by installing iStats with gem

gem install iStats

Then copy the python script above to a file on your computer (easiest to place wherever your terminal opens to)

Setup iTerm to be titless and scrollbarless (may require Nightly build)

Run the script and youll have a terminal widget with system info!
