EDMC.py would break due to an import chain that ends up in theme. Theme does a whole bunch of work to setup our GUI for EDMarketConnector.py, but it does this on any import, which will fail spectacularly if there is either no DISPLAY var set or no X11 libs available on our machine at all (as a sidenote this means it probably also breaks on a wholly wayland install). This fixes the issue by adding a check for an environment variable on import of theme. This can and WILL break if the env var is set and EDMarketConnector.py is used, but if you do that its your own fault.
Any questions or offers of help can be directed to the EDCD Discord #edmc channel:
Elite: Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC)
This application is only of use to PC players of the game Elite Dangerous (and its expansions). It won't work with PS4 or Xbox accounts.
It utilises the Journal files written by the game on the user's computer, together with data from the API Frontier Developments supplies in order to feed this data to various third party sites that the user may find useful.
