Does anyone have an example showing how I can interface with a running x.org server directly, without installing/importing any C extensions?

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Maybe you should describe what you intend when you say "interface with a running x.org server"?

you can surely make a TCP/IP connection, and send bytes to it and receive bytes from it. But what would be the point? You'd have to puzzle out what bytes to send, which I assume is complex and unintuitive -- the X protocol goes back to the 1980s
