========

Simple, untested, incomplete, hacked together wrapper around Things.app's

AppleScript code that lets you sanely interact with it without a ton of

``get()[n]`` calls.

Usage

-----

It attempts to mimic the Thing's AppleScript API where appropriate.  One area

that it does simplify is the ability to access the top-level lists.  Rather

than having to go through the ``lists`` property, you can access the ``Today``

list directly::

    from things import Things

    t = Things()

    t.today.to_dos[0]

Likewise, I've started adding some convinence functions in that handle the boolean

checks so you don't have to compare against the ``appscript.k.*`` values by hand.

For example::

    from things import Things

    t = Things()

    t.today.to_dos[0].is_complete() # True/False

    t.today.to_dos[0].complete()

    t.today.to_dos[0].is_complete() == True

Todo

----

* Expand what ``Things`` object responds to

* Add ``Area`` object

* Add ``Project`` object

* Finish adding the rest of the ``application`` properties that are exposed via AppleScript
