Applescript doesn't like single quotes

[baztastic]

Minor fix for OS X errors, replacing single quotes with double quotes, and removing "to":

Desktop.py, lines 270-274:

                OSX_SCRIPT = '''tell application "Finder"
set desktop picture to POSIX file "%s"
end tell
                ''' % image

You're right about the single quotes, but the to is required. Fixing.

The to throws an error for me: .weatherdesk_script.sh:26:29: script error: A end of line can’t go after this “to”. (-2740) For multiline tells you don't need the to.

[bharadwaj-raju]

Oh, I see. You mean the to after "Finder" - I thought you meant the to after picture. Fixing.

Fix committed. Please test.

Also, does the AppleScript Python API (appscript) not work? Because the script file is meant to be called only when that doesn't work.

Yep works for me, thanks!

Also just so you know, on OS X, if the "Desktop & Screen Saver" preference is set to automatically change every X minutes, it resets the background immediately after your script changes it, so the auto change setting should be changed in preferences before using your app. Maybe that could be put in the Readme.

Thanks for a cool little app!

Well appscript is not installed by default on my system - it's a fresh install of python3 via homebrew...

README updated.

@baztastic I've included a note in the README, but can you please provide a screenshot of the option to be disabled, in order to supplement the note?

Yep, here's the screenshot: imgur
