I considered PyOrgMode (https://github.com/bjonnh/PyOrgMode/network), but it appears unable to process TODOs, or even recurring events. To be able to extend PyOrgMode so I can read and write TODOs, I needed a full description of the format of TODO entries in all its forms. The Org manual itself has this information, I'm sure but scattered all over the place, given its real audience. Can someone point me to some sort of a concise representation, if any, of the org file format grammar? > Hi,
I'm the maintener and creator of PyOrgMode, some contributors (that I can't thanks enough there), added many TODO related enhancements to it. If you want to give it a try, we may be able to work together in getting your needs included in PyOrgMode.
