This script is an attempt to scrape wallpapers from the subreddits that make up the SFW Porn Network. It's meant to keep your desktop backgrounds fresh, and can even handle multiple monitors without having to use extra software.
This script uses the PRAW library to access Reddit's search API, then uses the urllib library to retrieve the images. The PIL and itertools libraries are used to create combinations of images wide enough to fit across your monitors.
Ironically, it's difficult to install extra software on my desktop at work, but I can browse Reddit all day long. So I wrote this script to scrape and create wallpapers that will fit across my three monitors.
