Example usage

Here’s an example how to open a todo.txt file and print the description of all tasks that are not marked as completed:

import pytodotxt


todotxt = pytodotxt.TodoTxt('todo.txt')
todotxt.parse()

for task in todotxt.tasks:
    if not task.is_completed:
        print(task.description)

Here is how you add a new task to an existing todo.txt file:

import datetime

import pytodotxt

todotxt = pytodotxt.TodoTxt('todo.txt')
todotxt.parse()

task = pytodotxt.Task()
task.parse('This is a new task')
task.creation_date = datetime.date.today()

todotxt.tasks.append(task)

todotxt.save()
