Summary

pmlib is a library to leverage TaskWarrior to track and manage projects.

pmlib requires adds per-task project owners, which are a basic requirement of any project tracking system. The original TaskWarrior concept assumes all tasks are owned by the user running TaskWarrior.

Installation

• Install TaskWarrior
• pip install pmlib

Usage

Assume you want to create nine tasks, eight of which are dependencies of the first task:

from pmlib.task import OwnedTask
from pmlib.task import OwnedTaskWarrior

otw = OwnedTaskWarrior(data_location="~/.pm", create=True, purge_existing=False)
otw.purge_project("version_1.6.0")
task01 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Complete software version 1.6.0",
                   start="2023-12-01",
                   due="2024-01-26",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="pm@gmail.com")
task02 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Fix bugs for version 1.6.0",
                   start="2023-12-01",
                   due="2023-12-21",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   status="completed",
                   owner="dev02@gmail.com")
task03 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Rewrite PDF exporter",
                   start="2023-12-01",
                   due="2023-12-15",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="dev01@gmail.com",
                   status="pending")
task04 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Test PDF exporter",
                   start="2023-12-15",
                   due="2024-01-05",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="test01@gmail.com")
task05 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Write feature for print driver",
                   start="2023-12-15",
                   due="2023-12-19",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="dev01@gmail.com")
task06 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Test print driver",
                   start="2023-12-19",
                   due="2023-12-27",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="test01@gmail.com")
task07 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Build new version 1.6.0 binary",
                   start="2023-12-27",
                   due="2024-01-06",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="builder01@gmail.com")
task08 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Test new version 1.6.0 binary",
                   start="2023-12-27",
                   due="2024-01-06",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="test01@gmail.com")
task09 = OwnedTask(otw,
                   description="Write version 1.6.0 release notes",
                   start="2023-12-27",
                   due="2024-01-16",
                   project="version_1.6.0",
                   owner="techwriter01@gmail.com")
task02.save()
task03.save()
task04.save()
task05.save()
task06.save()
task07.save()
task08.save()
task09.save()
task01.set_depends([task02, task03, task04, task05, task06, task07, task08, task09])
task01.save()

# This should be True, newtask02 is in the list of dependencies
#print(task02 in task01['depends'])

otw.save_project_gantt_chart("version_1.6.0", "gantt.png")

# Print a task table wrapped to 100 characters wide...
print(otw.get_table(100))

That will print (task UUIDs will be different):

      uuid                due          depends        owner            project        description
