pyThings

Simple, untested, incomplete, hacked together wrapper around Things.app's AppleScript code that lets you sanely interact with it without a ton of get()[n] calls.

Usage

It attempts to mimic the Thing's AppleScript API where appropriate. One area that it does simplify is the ability to access the top-level lists. Rather than having to go through the lists property, you can access the Today list directly::

from things import Things
t = Things()
t.today.to_dos[0]

Likewise, I've started adding some convinence functions in that handle the boolean checks so you don't have to compare against the appscript.k.* values by hand.

For example::

from things import Things
t = Things()
t.today.to_dos[0].is_complete() # True/False
t.today.to_dos[0].complete()
t.today.to_dos[0].is_complete() == True

Todo

• Expand what Things object responds to
• Add Area object
• Add Project object
• Finish adding the rest of the application properties that are exposed via AppleScript
