On a raspberry Pi running stretch lite with Python 2.7, this does not work



from PIL import Image
pic = Image.open('image1.jpg')
pic.show('title', command = 'fbi')


It gives



display-im6.q16: unsble to open X server `' @ error/display.c/DisplayImageCommand/432


but



fbi image1.jpg works fine



I also tried installing fim, tested fim and it works fine from the command line but also fails when pillow is directed to use it. I'd rather not add a ton of X server code or openCV modules just to show a pic. The only solution I have come up with is to open another terminal (alt-F2) and issue the fbi command there while the python process generates the images. Or I suppose I can try to spawn an fbi process from within the python script but then fbi blocks execution while it pauses for user input.

  • This usually happens when you run a grafical program without an X session: on a text terminal, with sudo or via SSH without -x flag for example.

  • Image.show() attempts to use whatever application is associated with images on your system to display them — which appears to be something you don't have installed (or don't have running). fbi doesn't require that.

  • ...so instead of using pic.show(), use the subprocess module to launch fbi to display the image after first saving it somewhere.
