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

cyptes has a "SysParametersInfoA()" function but wont let me use the SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER attribute.

This is what I've been using with windll:

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