process tasks from taskwarrior in python (via http://taskwarrior.org/boards/1/topics/2397 wanted to post this but can't login)

tasks.py

# on the shell, do:
# task rc.json.array=yes export > del.json

import json
tasks = json.load(open('del.json', 'r'))
for task in tasks:
         print task["uuid"]
         print task["description"]

# this doesn't work yet
#import os
#line = 'task rc.json.array=yes export'
#output = os.popen(line).read()

#for task in output:
#         print task["uuid"]
#         print task["description"]
