Bad Display Name

[NET-OF-BEING]

I can't get this running. ive used pip to install the pyxhook module and tried using both python 2.7 and 3.6.5.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "keylog.py", line 25, in
hookman = pyxhook.HookManager()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyxhook/pyxhook.py", line 67, in init
self.local_dpy = display.Display()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/Xlib/display.py", line 89, in init
self.display = _BaseDisplay(display)

protocol_display.Display.init(self, *args, **keys)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py", line 85, in init
name, protocol, host, displayno, screenno = connect.get_display(display)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/Xlib/support/connect.py", line 73, in get_display
return mod.get_display(display)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/Xlib/support/unix_connect.py", line 61, in get_display
raise error.DisplayNameError(display)
Xlib.error.DisplayNameError: Bad display name ""

Can someone help me with this please

Based on this message it looks like the error is coming from your XLib module and not pyxhook?

I'm with the same problem...
I installed apt-get install python3-xlib and python-xlib

[JeffHoogland]

What version of xlib are you folks using and on what platform?

[leocotes]

python3-xlib 0.20-3
Ubuntu 18.04

How should this problem be solved?
