wonderful_bing 0.5.1

Requirements

• Linux platform(Currently support gnome and xfce)

• Python 2.7

• Requests lib

• Libnotify-bin(for Arch: libnotify)

Install

$ sudo pip install wonderful_bing
$ sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin

Usage

• Manually

You need to set a directory to save the download pictures, end with ‘/’.

$ wonderful_bing -d /path/to/save/pictures/

• Automatically(recommand)

1. Add it to startup application(in my Linux Mint16) if you power on your pc and power off your pc regularly, then every time you boot up your pc, this script will automatically run for you.

2. Or use cron. Let me give you an example:

   0 8 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/wonderful_bing -d /home/lord63/pictures/bing/

we need ``env DISPLAY=:0``, otherwise the notify can’t display at all, and remember the ``/`` at the end.

3. Or use anacron if you ofen hang up your pc instead of powering off it. but the original anacron will run the script in root, thus it may fail in setting the picture to wallpaper. Follow this to let you run anacron as normal user. Let me give you an example, add the following line in $HOME/.anacron/anacrontab:

   1 1 wonderful_bing env DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/wonderful_bing -d /home/lord63/pictures/bing/

If you find a better way, please let me know :)
