Simple Python To-Do List (Enhanced Version)

A simple and beginner-friendly command-line To-Do List application built in Python. This enhanced version includes features developed by our team as part of an open-source course project.

Features

• Add Tasks — Create a new task and optionally assign a priority level (High, Medium, Low)
• Remove Tasks — Delete any task by selecting its index
• Mark Tasks as Completed — Update the completion status of any task
• View All Tasks — Displays index, task name, completion status, and priority level
• Persistent Storage (New) — Tasks automatically load on program start and save to a JSON file on exit
• Priority System (New) — Each task includes a priority label: High / Medium / Low

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• No external dependencies required (uses standard library only)

How to Use

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/imkaushal10/Simple-Python-To-Do-List.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

3. Run the todo.py script:

   python todo.py

Usage

When you run python todo.py, a menu will appear with the following options:
