timew-report 1.0.0

An interface for TimeWarrior report data

# timew-report

An interface for [TimeWarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/docs/timewarrior/) report data.

## Installation

## Usage

Create an executable python script and place it in your `TimeWarrior` extension folder. `TimeWarrior` will send its data to the script when called with the extension's name:

timew [report] <extension_name>

See [TimeWarrior documentation]() for more details about this.

## Details

This package consists of three classes which aid processing the `TimeWarrior` data:
* `TimeWarriorParser`
* `TimeWarriorConfig`
* `TimeWarriorInterval`

The classes are explained in detail below. You find some usage examples at the bottom of this README.

### Class `TimeWarriorParser`

You can pass an input stream with TimeWarrior data to constructor of `TimeWarriorParser`:

parser = TimeWarriorParser(sys.stdin)

Retrieve configuration (as `TimeWarriorConfig` object) and intervals (array of `TimeWarriorInterval` objects):

tw_config = parser.get_config()
tw_intervals = parser.get_intervals()



### Class `TimeWarriorConfig`

The object `TimeWarriorConfig` encapsulates the configuration dictionary and provides an interface to retrieve values:

value = tw_config.get_value(key, default)

There is a specialized getter for boolean values which returns `True` for the given `key` if the respective `value` is `on`, `1`, `yes`, `y`, or `true`:

bool = tw_config.get_boolean(key, default)

There are specialized getters for the `debug`, `verbose`, and `confirmation` flag:

debug = tw_config.get_debug()
verbose = tw_config.get_verbose()
confirmation = tw_config.get_confirmation()

### Class `TimeWarriorInterval`

The `TimeWarriorInterval` encapsulates the time interval data and provides an interface to retrieve values:

start = tw_interval.get_start()
end = tw_interval.get_end()
tags = tw_interval.get_tags()

`start` and `end` are `datetime` objects and given in local time, `tags` is a list of zero or more strings.

An interval can be queried whether it is open:

is_open = tw_interval.is_open()

There is a method which returns the interval's date (day, month, year). It is retrieved from its `start` datetime:

start_date = tw_interval.get_date()

## Examples

A simple CSV report:

import sys
from timewreport.parser import TimeWarriorParser

parser = TimeWarriorParser(sys.stdin)

for interval in parser.get_intervals():
line = '"{}"'.format(interval.get_start())
line += ',"{}"'.format(interval.get_end()) if not interval.is_open() else ''

for tag in interval.get_tags():
line += ',"{}"'.format(tag)

print(line)

Summing up totals by tag:

import sys
from timewreport.parser import TimeWarriorParser

parser = TimeWarriorParser(sys.stdin)

totals = dict()

for interval in parser.get_intervals():
tracked = interval.get_duration()

for tag in interval.get_tags():
if tag in totals:
totals[tag] += tracked
else:
totals[tag] = tracked

# Determine largest tag width.
max_width = len('Total')

for tag in totals:
if len(tag) > max_width:
max_width = len(tag)

# Compose report header.
print('Total by Tag')
print('')

# Compose table header.
print('{:{width}} {:>10}'.format('Tag', 'Total', width=max_width))
print('{} {}'.format('-' * max_width, '----------'))

# Compose table rows.
grand_total = 0
for tag in sorted(totals):
formatted = totals[tag].seconds
grand_total += totals[tag].seconds
print('{:{width}} {:10}'.format(tag, formatted, width=max_width))

# Compose total.
print('{} {}'.format(' ' * max_width, '----------'))
print('{:{width}} {:10}'.format('Total', grand_total, width=max_width))
