Hello,
I am running macOS Mojave and I am trying to use python-xlib. I am using version 0.25 of python-xlib.

Here is the traceback that I am getting:

python3 main.py
{'style': PosixPath('/Users/alex/.config/inkscape-shortcut-manager/styles'), 'object': PosixPath('/Users/alex/.config/inkscape-shortcut-manager/objects')}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 106, in <module>
    main()
  File "main.py", line 78, in main
    disp = Display()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Xlib/display.py", line 89, in __init__
    self.display = _BaseDisplay(display)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Xlib/display.py", line 71, in __init__
    protocol_display.Display.__init__(self, *args, **keys)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py", line 84, in __init__
    name, protocol, host, displayno, screenno = connect.get_display(display)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Xlib/support/connect.py", line 73, in get_display
    return mod.get_display(display)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Xlib/support/unix_connect.py", line 76, in get_display
    raise error.DisplayNameError(display)
Xlib.error.DisplayNameError: Bad display name "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.kzHzmjnNw7/org.macosforge.xquartz:0"

It seems that the regex match that is being performed on the string "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.kzHzmjnNw7/org.macosforge.xquartz:0" is failing, but I have no idea what is wrong (I have no programming experience with python-xlib/xquartz). I would be grateful if someone could help me out!

Best,
Alex
