**PyOrgMode is currently unmaintained, I do not use it anymore. It would benefit from a complete rewrite. There was no need for that stupid plugin architecture. Contact me if you are interested in getting it better, but I would really just recommend that it is just started from scratch with better practices of documentation, testing…**

PyOrgMode is a small python library able to do simple tasks with your org files. It allows you to generate org files or treat them in an automated fashion.

This project is not my top priority, but I’m more than happy to receive pull requests. Don’t worry, even if it takes some time, I go through all of them ;)

I’d like to thank all the people that contributes (see AUTHORS file).

Download the git repo and then install the package.

git clone https://github.com/bjonnh/PyOrgMode.git

new_todo = PyOrgMode.OrgNode.Element()
new_todo.heading = "I am a new todo item"
new_todo.tags=["things", "important"]
new_todo.level = 1
new_todo.todo = "TODO"

Add a scheduled item and a deadline to the item.

_sched = PyOrgMode.OrgSchedule()
_sched._append(new_todo, _sched.Element(scheduled="<2015-08-01 Sat 12:00-13:00>"))
_sched._append(new_todo, _sched.Element(deadline="<2015-08-01 Sat 12:00-13:00>"))

Create a logbook drawer

# Append the properties to the new todo item
new_todo.append_clean(_props)

_props.append(PyOrgMode.OrgDrawer.Property("NAMES", "bob, sally"))
# Append the properties to the new todo item
new_todo.append_clean(_props)
