done -- a simple, elegant command line todo list tool

preamble

done is a todo list tool designed for me. You might enjoy it, as well. It was inspired by:

• the darcs UI
• timebook.py
• todo.sh
• remember the milk
• kOrganizer

install

done should be installable via pip though I haven't tested it. Otherwise, sudo python setup.py install works fine.

usage

d a [-d due] task
add a task, optional natural language due date
d l [-s (due|created)] [filter...]
list out tasks, optional sort, optional filters
d d [filter...]
go through tasks to mark finished ones, optional filters
d b
launch sqlite3 backend
