Script to check a RTM Smart List for Tasks?

jamesr404 says:
Hello there!


I was wondering if anyone already had a script that can check if there is _any_ task on a specific (predetermined) Smart list, the script could then simply return true or false (1 or 0) to whatever executes the script, and so we could build whatever we want on top of that logic. ^^

Reason is I want to automate some decision making in "which task should I be doing next"... (less time spent on deciding is more time spent on doing)

If you, dear reader, do not have such a script, would you be interested in seeing such a script realized?

I have been thinking of creating one using RTM CLI ( http://www.davidwaring.net/projects/rtm.html ) but if anyone already has such a script, then obviously I don't need to reinvent the wheel....

Hi James,
Did you make any progress with this script?
I am interested in using it but I am a pretty mediocre programmer...

Hey Dane, I was able to make one after I saw James' idea. I just posted it to Github. It uses the pyrtm dev kit. If you've got questions on getting set up, let me know. I check the forums pretty regularly.

Look at the list-status.py file.
