**PyOrgMode is currently, and probably for ever, unmaintained **

There is a new project that is well documented and may cover most, if not more of what PyOrgMode was covering: [[https://github.com/karlicoss/orgparse][Karlicoss' OrgParse]].

* PyOrgMode
PyOrgMode is a small python library able to do simple tasks with your org files. It allows you to generate org files or treat them in an automated fashion.

This project is not my top priority, but I'm more than happy to receive pull requests. Don't worry, even if it takes some time, I go through all of them ;)

I'd like to thank all the people that contributes (see AUTHORS file).

** Quick Start

Download the git repo and then install the package.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
git clone https://github.com/bjonnh/PyOrgMode.git
cd PyOrgMode/
sudo python setup.py install
#+END_SRC

*** Import an Org-Mode file

Import PyOrgMode

#+BEGIN_SRC python
import PyOrgMode
#+END_SRC

Create an Org data structure to hold the org-mode file.

#+BEGIN_SRC python
base = PyOrgMode.OrgDataStructure()
#+END_SRC

Load the org-mode file.

#+BEGIN_SRC python
base.load_from_file("test.org")
#+END_SRC

*** Create an org-mode file
Create an Org data structure to hold the org-mode file.
#+BEGIN_SRC python
base = PyOrgMode.OrgDataStructure()
#+END_SRC

Create a new TODO item
#+BEGIN_SRC python
new_todo = PyOrgMode.OrgNode.Element()
new_todo.heading = "I am a new todo item"
new_todo.tags=["things", "important"]
new_todo.level = 1
new_todo.todo = "TODO"
#+END_SRC

Add a scheduled item and a deadline to the item.
#+BEGIN_SRC python
_sched = PyOrgMode.OrgSchedule()
_sched._append(new_todo, _sched.Element(scheduled="<2015-08-01 Sat 12:00-13:00>"))
_sched._append(new_todo, _sched.Element(deadline="<2015-08-01 Sat 12:00-13:00>"))
#+END_SRC

Create a logbook drawer
#+BEGIN_SRC python
_props = PyOrgMode.OrgDrawer.Element("LOGBOOK")
# Add a properties drawer
_props.append(PyOrgMode.OrgDrawer.Element("- State \"SOMEDAY\" from \"TODO\" [2015-07-01 Wed 09:45]"))
# Append the properties to the new todo item
new_todo.append_clean(_props)
#+END_SRC

Create a properties drawer
#+BEGIN_SRC python
_props = PyOrgMode.OrgDrawer.Element("PROPERTIES")
# Add a properties drawer
_props.append(PyOrgMode.OrgDrawer.Property("FRUITS", "pineapples"))
_props.append(PyOrgMode.OrgDrawer.Property("NAMES", "bob, sally"))
# Append the properties to the new todo item
new_todo.append_clean(_props)
#+END_SRC

Append the todo item to the base object
#+BEGIN_SRC python
base.root.append_clean(new_todo)
#+END_SRC

Save the org object to a file
#+BEGIN_SRC python
base.save_to_file("output.org")
#+END_SRC
