Openbox pipe menu

Anybody get these to work?  I've been trying to work on one that will display background images and select one upon choosing it, but I can't for the life of me get anything to work.  Here's a script I've been messing around trying to get to work if anyone wants to take a look:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os

#program = os.popen('feh --bg-scale')
dir = os.listdir('/home/brad/Backgrounds')
dir2 = '/home/brad/Backgrounds/'
print '<openbox_pipe_menu>'
print " <item label="planexpress.jpg""

#print '<item label="BG">'
#for x in dir:
#       print " <item label=""+ x + "">"
#       print "  </item>"
        #program = x
#       x = 
#       program = os.popen('feh --bg-scale "%s%s"' % (dir2,x))
#str(program)
#       program = 'feh --bg-scale %s%s' % (dir2,x)
print '  <action name="Execute"><execute>feh --bg-scale /home/brad/Backgrounds/planexpress.jpg</execute></action>'# % (program)
print ' </item>'
print '</openbox_pipe_menu>'

I know this script obviously won't work, but I'm just trying to get something to show up on the OB menu

Re: Openbox pipe menu

Anyway, here's a script that as far as I can figure should work, but doesn't.  If anyone has any ideas that'd be great:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys





def main():
        dir2 = '/home/brad/Backgrounds/'
        dir = os.listdir('/home/brad/Backgrounds')
        for x in dir:
                print " <item label=""+ x + "">"
                print '  <action name="Execute">'
                print '   <execute>feh --bg-scale '+dir2+ x+'</execute>'
                print '  </action>'
                print ' </item>'
#               print '<seperator />'


print '<openbox_pipe_menu>'
main()
print '</openbox_pipe_menu>'
