Yet Another todo.py is forked from the python version of todotxt at Google Code. I’m planning on making some modifications to make it more useful in my particular workflow, such as a pipe script for parsing emails for todo items to add to the todo list.

New features:

• chooser.py – Takes a text file or URL and opens it in an editor, allowing you to quickly edit the text down to just your action items and adds each line to the todo.txt as a new todo. Additionally, this can work with stdin piped to it. I use this with alpine by Piping (|) an email containing todo items as Free Output (^Y) to ~/ya-todo-py/chooser.py. This lets me edit the email I piped to it to put each todo item on it’s own line and add it to todo.txt.

• -r Reverse sort – Gives an option to reverse the sort (be it numeric or alphabetic.) This way, if your priority items on a long todo list are scrolling off the screen, reversing the sort makes them available last so they’ll still be on the screen.
