This is an API package for Remember the Milk. Using their API and this package you can create Python applications accessing your task lists on RTM.
See the example script (in the examples folder) for basic
usage. You should have read the essential API docs on their website
before.
It's important that you understand the example script to understand how to use RtmAPI. It shows desktop authorization and a basic list operation.
See http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/api/authentication.rtm.
User authentication for desktop applications can be done using the
authenticate_desktop and retrieve_token methods, whereas
web applications should use the authenticate_web and
retrieve_token methods.
If you call an API method, it returns the XML wrapped in special objects. Those object should make it easy to use the API:
Each object has a value property which returns the XML text.
All other values return either the contents of the XML attribute
with the same name if that exists, or an (again wrapped) child
element with the name.
Some API methods return multiple child elements of the same kind,
ie. XML children with the same tag. Those lists are handled in
RtmAPI, ie. you can iterate over those child elements easily. The
example script show the usage of rtm.tasks.getList. Compare the
example script with the rtm.tasks.getList documentation to
understand how lists work.
