ofpy 0.21

Add tasks to OmniFocus from Linux

Command line to OmniFocus script, via email or Dropbox and Hazel

Installation

Using pip

1. Install as usual from PyPI.

2. Put a file in your $PATH with your preferred Python version.

   • I’m using /usr/local/bin/ofpy as an example, change OFPY_DEST if needed

3. Make it executable.

Python3 Example:

pip3 install ofpy

OFPY_DEST=/usr/local/bin/ofpy
OFPY_PATH=$(python3 -c 'import ofpy; print(str(ofpy.__path__[0]) + "/ofpy.py")')

echo "/usr/bin/env python3 $OFPY_PATH" > $OFPY_DEST
chmod u+x $OFPY_DEST

Python2 Example:

pip install ofpy

OFPY_DEST=/usr/local/bin/ofpy
OFPY_PATH=$(python -c "import os; import ofpy; print(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), ofpy.__path__[0], 'ofpy.py'))")

echo "/usr/bin/env python $OFPY_PATH" > $OFPY_DEST
chmod u+x $OFPY_DEST

It should ignore the python3 shebang in ofpy.py if done this way. If not, edit the shebang.

Manually

Download or git clone

cd ofpy/ofpy
chmod u+x ofpy.py
ln -s $PWD/ofpy.py /usr/local/bin/ofpy

Set up to default to Python3 – edit the shebang in ofpy.py if you need Python2.

Configuration

1. Run ofpy without arguments. You should see a logging message about creating ~/.ofpy_config.

2. Edit ~/.ofpy_config and fill in your values.

Usage

Inline from the command line.

ofpy "This is my first task."

Inline from the command line without quotes (watch out for apostrophes and quotes)

ofpy This is my second task.

Compose the task in your favorite CLI editor (set in config, defaults to vim).
