Share this project using http://git.io/todo.py and this page using http://git.io/todo.py-wiki.
Example usage of commands can be found on the help page. Sample configuration files can be found on the config page. Explanations of configuration options can be found here.
We have tried to almost entirely mimic todo.sh's behavior. It'll just be easier to list the differences.
- If the
todo.txtfile is empty,todo.pywill ignore it until it has to add something to the file. [11]
- If you so desire, you do not need to have
done.txt,report.txt, ortodo.tmpfiles lying around your directories. [10] - Previously you would tell
todo.shto archive yourtodo.txtfile which would move all the entries you had marked as 'done' to thedone.txtfile. I (sigmavirus24) decided it was just simpler for a new user to understand that what they mark as done will appear in thedone.txtfile. - Git integration is baked into the project from the start. This allows the
script to manage a repository for your
todo.txtfiles. This does not have to be used though. Simply useexport USE_GIT=0in your config file. - Exporting a sort command will not work. (i.e.
TODOTXT_SORT_COMMAND)
"todo.sh is 14x slower than this impl on Cygwin, so I'm replacing it. Need the same output, though." - jvstein
If you would rather use python3 for your todo.py script, we support it! Just change the first line of the script from
#!/usr/bin/env python
to
#!/usr/bin/env python3
Assuming of course that you have python3 installed along with python2. If you only have python3 installed, you should not have to do this.
It is usually easier to simply install the script to a local directory like
$HOME/bin so you can always make this executable from any directory by adding
that path to your PATH variable, e.g. export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin".
