A custom DISPLAY to determinate the socket_path.

Add display argument to sync and async Connetion() classes
to determineate the socket_path. Useful when you work with many
Xephyr servers.

Will conflict with #199 Did the current version create errors or is this a "nice to have" thing?

[rysson]

Hi,
It's a "nice to have" thing.

It's easier to connect to many i3 servers with this PR. Similar to DISPLAY=:1, witch works for single connection.

If you accept #199, I could refactor this PR to avoid using xlib.
I can use something similar to:

if self._display:
    env = {**os.eviron, 'DISPLAY': self._display}
else:
    env = None
process = run([binary, '--get-socketpath'], stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, env=env)

That's all what I need.

Great clarification, thanks :)

I'm unfortunately not the package maintainer for this project, wish I was though. Just emailed the maintainer asking what's up and if I could help out. I'm thinking about creating a fork of this project since it feels unmaintained, but I'll see if he replies first. We'll just have to wait. So it's up to you if you want to preemptively do the refactor before that :)
