Assignment 05: To-Do List

For this assignment, I'd like you to make a simple command-line based to-do list application in Python. This application should allow users to specify to-do list items with a due date (date and time), and allow a user to see what todos they still have.

Acceptance Criteria

This application should have the following functionalities:

Users can add new to-do list items. A to-do list item has a description and a due date/time.
Users should be able to see a list of all pending to-do list items (items in the future).
Users should be able to see a list of all previous to-do list items (items in the past).
Users should be able to see a view of today, this week, or this month that includes upcoming to-dos. This should be formatted using a rich table
BONUS: What if we wanted the ability to mark to-do list items as done, and/or show if they are overdue? This is not a requirement, but a bonus if you have extra time and want extra credit.

Deliverable

Upload a .zip file containing your script(s) and requirements.txt file to Canvas named todo-onyen.zip where onyen is your onyen. Make sure that you have a script named main.py that I will run. All of your code can be contained in this file, or you can include other modules/packages if you find it easier to organize your code that way.

You should expect that I will do the following:

Create a virtual environment using the Python venv module
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the dependencies you've specified, such as rich
Run your main.py file

I'll be grading your assignment based on output correctness and code readability based on the best practices we've discussed so far. Think about how you can best abstract your code using functions and/or classes, and think about how you can best organize your code using modules and packages.

Hints and Tips

As always, make use of Piazza to ask any questions and work with your fellow students. Feel free to reach out to me directly via Canvas or Email to schedule office hours or to stay after class and talk through any questions you may have - I'm happy to be your sounding board.
