There are 2 problems to solve: 1/ change the 'wallpaper' 2/ run as a background task (a 'service' on Win32, a 'daemon' on unix-likes) The 2nd one is already solved by your os (use Windows' task scheduler or *n*x's cron). So the main thing you have to do is find out how to 'change the wallpaper' on *your* system. For this, you first have to search in your system's API. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
