A new to do list app based on todo.txt.

I had some down time over Christmas and decided to use it learning the basics of sqlalchemy. Since I like using the command line to get around and I have been wanting to try my hand at a basic to do list program, I decided I would try to mimic Gina Trapani’s todo.txt.

The commands are slightly different than those used by todo.txt, mostly due to some limitations of using optparse. Currently, the program supports adding task, deleting task (completing them), updating task priority or description, and listing all task or searching the task for a keyword.

Running the program for the first time will create a database and settings file for you. This may be changed in the future to where only the db file is created and the settings file is already included. Additionally, there are some path issues that will be addressed in the near future. Once these issues are addressed, I plan on packaging the program up for listing on pypi.

You can see the source and download the program on github.
