Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] appscript with todos in iCal seams very slow

Has,
Thank you.  Unfortunately, I have a list of UIDs for the todos I want to modify, so I think the best I can do is:
for uid in uid_list:
    todo = [ t for t in app('iCal').calendars.todos.filter( its.uid == uid ).get() if t != k.MissingValue ][0]
    todo.stamp_date.set( datetime.datetime.today() )

Still, the list is never long so the script runs relatively fast.  My largest bottleneck was getting the original list of all todos and their properties, and your previous suggestion made a huge difference in execution speed.

Thank You,
Marcin

You can set multiple properties in a single command  by assigning a  
record containing values for the properties you want to change to the  
'properties' property, e.g.:

     myevent.properties.set({k.start_time: t1, k.end_time: t2})

If you have a multi-object reference, you can assign the same value  
to properties in all of those objects using a single 'set' command,  
e.g.:

     mycalendar.todos.priority.set(k.high_priority)


That's about the limit of it though, e.g. if you've got a list of  
references or want to assign different values to each then you have  
to do them individually.

BTW, the next version of appscript has a number of performance  
improvements that should speed things up a bit at the Python end.  
I'll have a copy up shortly.
