tags 462842 + unreproducible tags 462842 + moreinfo thanks I am able to get information out of get_best_auth:
$ python -c "from Xlib.xauth import * ; print Xauthority().get_best_auth( FamilyLocal, 'localhost.localdomain', 0 )" ('MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1', 'Vp\xdc\xee\xa2u\xfe\x03b\x01[f;y\xf3\x86') Can you give more information about how you were trying to call get_best_auth? Perhaps you should look at Xauthority().entries which is the list of all known auth methods. Thanks, stew
