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

This weekend, while trying to avoid doing any real work, I started
noodling
around with the Google Tasks API and I got a respectable distance toward
a
script which will read your Google Tasks and export them to Org-mode.
Currently it will capture the task title, the notes, the todo status
(TODO
or DONE) and the hierarchy, i.e. child tasks will be correctly placed
under
their parents. There's still a lot of polish to apply, and of course,
there
is no bidirectional capability as yet. Still, I wanted to send out this
notice in case anyone wanted to compare notes or thought it might be an
interesting application to share. The mobile apps for Google Tasks are
quite good, and if I can get a really good export going, I think this
will
actually provide a plausible alternative workflow to the existing
MobileOrg
flow.

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.
Thanks,
eric
