I'm trying to automate whatsapp using python in my android phone. I'm using pydroid 3 ide to do it. From the terminal I installed pywhatkit

$ pip install pywhatkit

And i logged into whatsapp web from chrome browser.

Now I've write the script named test.py like this -

 import pywhatkit 
 pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg("+9176xxxxxx18","hello","10,36")

(My number imstead of +9176xxxxxxxx18)

(I've set the time 2 minutes later from my time) But whenever I run the script it throws an error in importing pywhatkit

Something like this -

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/accomp_files/iiec_run/iiec_run.py", line 31, in <module>

    It would appear that the environment variable `DISPLAY` isn't set on your phone. Whether it needs to and what it should be I can't say, I don't do anything android. But the `linux` tag is highly misleading. – tink Sep 01 '21 at 18:02

I see you are trying to run from mobile[android] device, this module requires PC browser. So it wont be able to run in your mobile. Try running test.py through your PC. And you cant send whatsapp messege using python on android.
