Re: [O] Google Tasks Integration

[Patrick Brennan]

Hi Eric,

Here is the script. It's pretty simple. There is no facility for synchronizing an org-mode file as yet. I think the best way to do the sync would be to do it when pushing an org-mode file to Google Tasks.

Tell me how you like this and if it works well for you.

Patrick

PS:

** Requirements:

  - Python 2.6. This is the version I am using, and I am not sure if an earlier

    version will work.

  - setuptools. This is necessary in order to install the Google API for Python.

    Get setuptools from here: 

    http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads

    I downloaded the egg package 

    (http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg#md5=bfa92100bd772d5a213eedd356d64086), 

    set it to +x and run it

    sudo ./setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

  - Google Tasks API for Python.

    Use easy_install per this page: 

    http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/wiki/Installation

    sudo easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Thanks,
Patrick

I would be very interested in this.  I have links to and from google
calendar for appointments but could not figure out how to do either
direction for TODO items.
