Q: I installed the debian package on my Debian machine and got the following error

$ key-mon

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named keymon.key_mon

A: You probably don't have python2.6 installed, and that is where the debian package installs to. If you install from source (.zip or .tar.gz) you shouldn't experience this problem since it uses whichever python is the default.

I've just install key-mon on Fedora, and solve the problem with gksu (don't present on Fedora) with beesu (yum install beesu) and replace gksu by beesu by editing the file /usr/bin/key-mon.

I just try version 1.2.2 on my Fedora. When I want to launch key-mon, python-xlib was missing. Just yum install python-xlib solve the problem. I note that sudo seems to be not necessary (I don't have to modify the bin flie to change with beesu). Key-mon works well with a user not root.

Hello, I'm trying to get this program running under Cygwin and keep getting this error when I try to run the program:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/init.py:57: GtkWarning?: could not open display

warnings.warn(str(e), gtk.Warning)

Error: Missing xlib, run sudo apt-get install python-xlib

How do I correct this?

@AkagiKong?,

To be honest I haven't tried using KeyMon? on Windows. It looks like your case may be that running from a console window it can't find the display. Perhaps changing the extension from .py to .pyw might make a difference, however, I suspect that even getting past this problem you will hit another problem soon after (like the keys and mouse buttons not showing up because Windows xlib probably doesn't have the XLib Record library, for security reasons).

How to add own themes? Possible in .config/key-mon/ ?
