    ctypes ques

    the win32 python extentions don't seem to have "SysParametersI nfo()" and i need it to set the wallpaper in windows.

    cyptes has a "SysParametersI nfoA()" function but wont let me use the SPI_SETDESKWALL PAPER attribute.

    anyone have any ideas how i can set the windows wallpaper from a python program?

      This is what I've been using with windll:

      def set_wallpaper(w allpaper):
      # refresh wallpaper
      try:
      import windll
      g = windll.module(" user32")
      buf = windll.cstring( wallpaper)
      g.SystemParamet ersInfo(20, 0, buf, 3)
      except:
      pass
