I am trying to write a simple Python script which dumps out all items in my Home collection as a text file. (Just the item names as a simple flat list, 1 line per item.) This attempt is related to my wanting to be able to print out a simple list of my items (see http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-users/2007-October/000822.html).
It is my understanding that since Chandler Desktop is written in Python, it is possible to run simple scripts to perform repeated (or desirable) tasks. I've tried to harness the tools->scripting menu item to do this--recording a script of a .ics file dump. However, this seems to record mostly wxWidget calls (including mouse clicks & keyboard presses). Furthermore, dumping as an .ics file isn't exactly what I want. (I would have to post-process the result to get only the item names. I've done this manually before, but there must be a better way.) My first step in this endeavor is to figure out how to get hold of my Home collection's object. Is there a way to get the Python object of a collection by simply knowing its name--or, really, a list of items in the repository that belong to a specific collection? Alternatively, if I'm going about this all wrong, I'd like some help pointing me in the right direction.
