ttask-manager 1.1.2

A simple task management package.

TaskManager

TaskManager is a simple Python package for managing tasks. It's designed to be used in command-line interface (CLI) applications, providing basic task management functionality.

Description

This package was created as part of a learning project to understand Python package development and distribution. It has evolved into a more robust solution for task management, incorporating features that allow users to easily add, remove, and track tasks along with their priorities.

The TaskManager package provides functionality to:

• Add tasks to a to-do list with customizable priority levels
• Mark tasks as completed
• Remove tasks from the list
• View current tasks and completed tasks
• Generate detailed reports of tasks
• Support for both string and integer priority types

Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use the TaskManager effectively:

from ttask_manager import TaskManager

# Create a new TaskManager instance
tm = TaskManager()

# Load existing tasks (if any) from a .json file
tm.load_recent_state('~/data_file_path')

# Add multiple tasks to the to-do list
tm.add_task(("Write README","medium"), "Create setup.py", ("Push to GitHub","high"), "Test the application")

# View current to-do tasks
tm.current_state('to-do')

# Mark specific tasks as done
tm.task_done("Write README", "Test the application")

# View completed tasks
tm.current_state('done')

# Print the current state
print(tm)

# Generate a report of today's tasks
tm.report('~/a_dir_to_save_to','report_file_name.txt')

# Clear the to-do list after completing tasks
tm.clear('todo')

# Save current tasks (if any) to a .json file
tm.save_current_state('~/data_file_path')

This example showcases how to create a TaskManager instance, load existing tasks, manage to-do and completed tasks, generate a daily report, and reset the lists as needed.

Features

• Add multiple tasks at once with customizable priorities
• Remove tasks from the to-do list
• Mark tasks as completed
• View current to-do list and completed tasks with formatting
• Generate customizable reports of tasks (by 'to-do', 'done', or 'all')
• Clear specific lists or reset both lists

Development

This project was primarily created as a learning exercise in Python package development. Its simplicity is intentional, and there are no plans for significant feature additions or expansions. However, if you find a bug or have a suggestion for a minor improvement, feel free to open an issue on the GitHub repository.

Notice

Due to the pressure of my studies, I will be taking a pause from further development on the TaskManager. Thank you for your understanding and support during this time.
