This script creates todo list items in the Mac app Things (https://culturedcode.com/things/) automatically based on upcoming events in your calendar.
Create a virtual environment:
mkvirtualenv event_to_things
My virtualenv creates environments in $HOME/.envs. If yours creates them
elsewhere, update the references to that directory below.
Install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp localsettings.sample.py localsettings.py
Edit that file.
Edit cron:
crontab -e
Add this line:
0 23 * * * echo '$HOME/.envs/event_to_things/bin/python $HOME/repos/event_to_things/event_to_things.py' | /bin/bash
This will run the script everyday at 11 p.m. Obviously, you can change that to whatever you wish.
If you installed this software elsewhere than $HOME/repos, modify that
line accordingly. (We specify the python executable so that the virtualenv is
used, rather than your system's default python. We pipe to /bin/bash so
that the shell commands in the script work. Presumably this script could be
rewritten without shell commands.)
