Ever since Leopard, Apple sets DISPLAY for you, to a special value that makes X11.app automatically anytime it's needed. If you override DISPLAY and set it to something like ":0" then X11.app will no longer automatically launch when needed, and you'll have to launch it manually. It is possible that python-xlib does not like this special value Apple uses for DISPLAY. What problem do you see when you don't override DISPLAY? _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
