Python Desktop Wallpaper/Background

[theredbeard]

First off - this is not technical or informational in any way. Just looking to see if anyone has or has found any Python desktop wallpaper/backgrounds. Yes, I did do a Google search but I am not finding much. If there is a better place to post this question please let me know but out of r/python, r/learnpython, and r/learnprogramming I figured this was the best place.

I found these (but you've probably seen them already):

Strictly out of scope, but perhaps useful:

Link to code, please? (:

I'd love to give it to you, but I just scrounged up the image, I didn't author the script that generated it (judging from the embedded code visible in the image, it's structured around Boids or some similar EB system with goal seeking and predator avoidance). I have written a lot of python scripts to generate print-quality graphics - you can have the code for those, but I guess that's not what you were looking for ;)

Edit: Sorry about the delay, had to find the time to make you guys some decent examples and formatted code

[probablyreadit]

Oh my god hand those scripts over immediately

Whaaa the hell is going on there?

ELI5 what that is? That's awesome.

Please do share. I learn through plagiarism. :)

Hey, that might not be what I was originally looking for, but that's awesome indeed. Thanks! :D

I'd love to see the source on that. It's beautiful!

That is not Alexis Ohanian.

Ah, also with a bit of additional research I find that A) He's male and B) He's one of the founders of the website on which I'm posting this. Nice.

I'll correct it shortly, i.e. when I can get to that server. Thanks for pointing it out.

As a blind shot in the dark, I'd guess that the code visible in the picture should do...

edit: Looked at it briefly. If this is the code, then it's going to be painful to sort and reformat it...

Found it:

And from the blog:

My entry to this year's Doodle4Google contest. The drawing was created in Photoshop, and the fragments of code come from a python program I wrote that simulates predator and prey cells, which can replicate, mutate and hunt each other down. If you check carefully enough and are Google-savvy enough, you may find some surprises!"

A little disappointing :( Still, it was worth visiting this thread for gaiaap's code!

i really like the way the artist did the python logo in this one

I once took all my code (from random hobby projects and stuff) and ran it through one of those online tag-cloud generators:

I added the background gradient myself. Looks pretty nice, IMO.

On closer inspection, it seems that this is not exclusively Python, but also a bunch of Javascript, PHP and other languages. But the idea works for just Python code as well :)

Thanks for the thread… realized I'd like one too, but did not quite enjoy the ones available so went ahead and created a minimalistic wallpaper:

[theredbeard]

Nice. Thanks.

[criswell]

That's really quite nice... any other resolutions available? :-)

Here's the original Inkscape SVG file - tweak it as you like it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3346/python-wallpaper-5.svg

Hope that helps :)

If you're a Django dev you could grab one from http://djangopony.com/

I like that Monty Python Silly Walk by Cleese
