Configure parameters and run the script:
- bday: your birthday as in the following datetime(year, month, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, microsecond[, tzinfo]]]]])
- access_token: Generate one at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
- like: set true to like posts on your wall
- comment: set true to comment thank you
- message_set: the list of messages from which you want a random message to be selected
- use_filter: if false, repies to every message. Make it false if you are sure every wish posted on your wall is a birthday message

I wrote this code for fun on my 22nd Birthday (25 August 2014). It was one of the best birthdays thanks to friends and every birthday wish means a lot. My blog has a post about it.
Idea inspired from a post on quora: http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-Python-scripts-youve-ever-written The code in that post uses FQL which is deprecated after v2.1. This implementation uses Facebook Graph API.
