Now if only I could run this in Python on the iPad :-)

Any particular version of Python required?

Give it a try, tell me how it goes :-)

I'm using 2.7.3 I think (on my ipad right now), but I'm not doing anything clever so the built in version should do.

One odd problem I have at the moment seems to relate to wide character support, but only if launched from AppleScript, it's fine when started from the console - haven't got to the bottom of that one yet...

I like the elegance of the hierarchy handling – thank you !

Thankyou! It's actually my first Python program, it probably smells of Java :-)

I'm a Python novice, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I get nothing when I try any of the reports. I did fix the obvious problem with my home directory being something other than /Users/psidnell, but if I try to run linkgen.py I get

bash-3.2$ python linkgen.py 
  File "linkgen.py", line 6
    def __init__ (self, out, types = {'Folder', 'Project', 'Task'}, indent=4):
                                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
bash-3.2$

and the most I can get out of any of the other scripts is

# Weekly Progress Report

I'm running Python 2.6.1 on 10.6.8. Any suggestions on my next troubleshooting step?

Hmm - that first error in linkgen.py is odd.

I'm using Python V2.7.2 and OSX 10.8.2 the same as you. The line itself is valid - have you added any code above it? The syntax looks the same as mine.

It's a shame you're having issues with linkgen.py since that's the report I'd recommend starting with since it just dumps everything to html and then opens the browser on it.

As for the second issue with weekly report.py, it looks like the report is running but finding nothing to produce. This is most likely because of other config personal to my work flow:

1. weeklyreport.py looks throught all the folders for one called "Work" and only descends into that. Getting rid of that test should help.

2. donereport.py (which weeklyreport.py imports) looks for completed tasks in a context whose name starts with "Log" (I move only some completed tasks into a Log context at the end of the day so I can control what appears in it).

Let me know if this helps.
