Py3status: Speedtest module does not render as per documentation

[gmagno]

Hello,

I have been having issues with speedtest module. Apparently the configuration is ignored. Follows the configuration, which was taken from the docs:

# i3status configuration file.
# see "man i3status" for documentation.

# It is important that this file is edited as UTF-8.
# The following line should contain a sharp s:
# ß
# If the above line is not correctly displayed, fix your editor first!

general {
    colors = true
    interval = 5
}

order = "speedtest"

speedtest {
    format = "speedtest[\?soft  ][\?if=elapsed [\?color=darkgray [time "
    format += "[\?color=elapsed_time {elapsed_time} s]]]|[\?color=darkgray "
    # format += "ping [\?color=ping {ping} ms] "
    format += "download [\?color=download {download}Mbps] "
    format += "upload [\?color=upload {upload}Mbps]]]"
}

And here's the log:

Finally this is how the status bar is rendered:

---

Speedtest binary (speedtest-cli) is in the PATH and runs without issues.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Probably worth adding a note on the docs(?)

Something along these lines:
