Hi, users are unable to run Daily-Reddit-Wallpaper due to dependency conflict with update-checker package.
As shown in the following full dependency graph of Daily-Reddit-Wallpaper, it directly requires update-checker==0.11，while praw==5.4.0 requires update-checker>=0.16.
According to pip’s “first found wins” installation strategy, update-checker==0.11 is the actually installed version.
However, update-checker==0.11 does not satisfy update-checker>=0.16.

I will update my fork of Daily-Reddit-Wallpaper from now on. Just check out my fork.
I sent a pull request but I know that will be ignored: this project is no longer mantained.
There is a library, libdesktop, that you can use to ease development, maintenance and add support for more platforms.
Install:
pip install libdesktop
And then it's just:
import libdesktop
libdesktop.set_desktop_wallpaper(image)Also:
It even has a add_to_system_startup() function, but probably you'll not want it since you want users to handle that through cron/Task Scheduler.
Once, a photo hosted on Imgur made it's way to the top of the subreddit. However when I ran the script, the photo was no longer available on Imgur. As a result my desktop background was a big 'not available' or something.
Do you think there is a way to prevent that ?
For me (Ubuntu 14.04LTS, python 2.6.7) sudo pip install praw or installing it with requirements.txt does not work. Using sudo python -m pip install praw works just fine. Sure, it's not an issue with your script, but if other users experience it as well, it'd be better to use python -m pip method in README.md. Complete log below.

It appears that when running this script as a cron job, the code falls through all of the desktop environment checks. The image is downloaded from reddit, but it never gets set as a wallpaper. Here's what I captured in my log.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./change_wallpaper_reddit.py", line 205, in

I guess we can all agree that a full hd wallpaper won't look good on a normal laptop, it's better to get first matching wallpaper with local resolution or at least provide a resize option
I really like my wallpaper to change while I work. I think this one would be a nice addiction without much effort.

It's causing problems when trying to change my background hourly with the --time hour option.
So you can pick the subreddit on each run. I like using earthporn. I've just manually changed it in the code for now but would be easier for the casual end-user.
So i am working on a pretty similar thing: https://github.com/NIT-dgp/UIP and i notice you have a pretty good way to change wallpapers in a cross-platform way, would you be interested in moving that piece of code to an own library? so we have an awesome way for everyone to change wallpapers in python?
i3, awesome and similar desktop users usually use feh to set background for desktop. Adding a fallback option to feh easily adds support for this desktops.
