ImportError: sys.meta_path is None, Python is likely shutting down

First, check if your config.py file exist ---> No such file or directory: 'config.py'

I suppose the error: ImportError: sys.meta_path is None, Python is likely shutting down, happens as a result of the error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'config.py'.

I believe that error ImportError: sys.meta_path is None, Python is likely shutting down should happen in certain situations, where the other error occurs during execution.

I submit this PR: 154 to evdev repo, probably will fix the ImportError: sys.meta_path is None, Python is likely shutting down.

But your problem is missing config.py.

CSpencerND commented 3 years ago

I'm getting the same errors even though I have my config file

luizoti commented 3 years ago

In your case the real error is:

Xlib.error.DisplayConnectionError: Can't connect to display ":1": b'No protocol specified\n'

In general, any error raised by Xkeysnail will return similar errors, like this:

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/evdev/device.py", line 160, in __del__
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/evdev/device.py", line 305, in close

How was Xkey chosen? Because he is not able to access the DISPLAY

CSpencerND commented 3 years ago

Interesting. I'm not sure what you mean by "chosen". I installed with pip. Made the config file, and ran it with sudo xkeysnail ~/.config/xkeysnail/config.py. I'm on a laptop with no extra display connected.

luizoti commented 3 years ago

I also don't know where the word 'chosen' came from. haha

I'm not talking about monitors, but about DISPLAY, maybe that explains it better: display

I had the same problem running xkeysnail through a systemd service.

CSpencerND commented 3 years ago

It's works after running xhost +. Thanks very much.
