to-doo: a simple to-do list application

Source: http://reclaimyourqueendom.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/to-do-list.jpg

to-doo [1] is a simple to-do list application written by me using google app engine [2] and python [3]. I wanted to make it as simple as possible yet serve the purpose. The syntax used is simple, more information are there in the 'help' link of to-doo. The frontend is basic HTML so that almost all the browsers including the browsers in mobile phones will support this. They will load to-doo quickly and will function with low amount of data transferred.

to-doo uses google accounts to authenticate the user. This is a service provided by the API of the google app engine. So the application will not save your google password but your google account nick name as it is used to filter out the relevant tasks.

Give to-doo a try and leave your comments through the link provided in to-doo.

./sugar-jhbuild update: 'BundleModule' has no attribute 'parse_from_xml' [solved]

I was trying to build sugar on my fedora 16 (64 bit) box as instructed here [1]. git clone was successful but ./sugar-jhbuild update failed although I have all the dependencies installed. Following is the strange python error I got,

./sugar-jhbuild update

AttributeError: type object 'BundleModule' has no attribute 'parse_from_xml'

It took me a couple of days to figure the issue. It all went fine after I removed /home/kalpa/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jhbuild Then all was fine working :-)


In ./sugar-jubuild depscheck there is an warning


Missing packages:
gnome-python2-evince


It can be either ignored or install through
yum install gnome-python2-desktop
