I can also recommend something like i3 which includes a status bar by default.

Something like slstatus maybe? Or do mean command-line in an actual terminal window? Do you have any particular reason as to why you' want that?

I'm not too smart. I just like to cause myself trouble. A hobby of mine, haha.
But I do pipe stuff to slstatus. E-mail notifications. Well... Indirectly. I use a small shell script to pipe output to a file that it turn gets used by slstatus. But you can pipe output of slstatus unto a command-line. I think there are facilities to do the thing you want to do.
Don't know anything about using powerline-shell. Seems like you might be able to do something similar though. But just taking a guess: if you can get hold of the information you want, you might be about to use the "segments" functionality for it?
Glanced at the python imports and I noticed that it use the 'shutils' library in places. I don't know how that relates to the rest of the code, but that enables might enable you to use shell commands somehow.
But as I said... I'm just making assumptions. I could be completely wrong, but the problem seems intriguing to me, haha. All this might not be helpful. Try to ask the developers about it.

There's tmux powerline but it seems to be deprecated.
