Python Script to Import tasks from Asana to Todoist

You need to export the Asana tasks to a CSV file.
Additionally, you'll need to install pandas and Todoist python client.

The result:

In case you need to add by sections:

def should_import(task_info: dict) -> bool:
    """
    Given a task info, should I filter the task? (i.e., not import the task?)
    You can add your desired conditions here.
    """
    # if task is completed or has empty name, don't import it
    if pd.notnull(task_info['Completed At']) or pd.isnull(task_info['Section/Column'])\
        or pd.isnull(task_info['Name']) or not task_info['Name'].strip():
        return False
    else:
        return True

def import_asana_tasks(project_id):
    cnt = 0
    sections = {}
    for task in asana_tasks.iterrows():
        
        try:
            
            task_info = dict(task[1])
            if should_import(task_info):
                task_name =  task_info['Name'].strip()
                task_due = task_info['Due Date'] if pd.notnull(task_info['Due Date']) else None
                task_notes = task_info['Notes'] if pd.notnull(task_info['Notes']) else ''
                task_section = task_info['Section/Column']
                
                print("section >> {}".format(task_section))
                if not task_section in sections:
                    section = todoist.sections.add(task_section, project_id=project_id)
                    todoist.commit()
                    sections[task_section] = section['id']
                
                todoist_task = todoist.items.add(content=task_name, section_id=sections[task_section], project_id=project_id)
                comment = todoist.notes.add(todoist_task['id'], task_notes)
                
                todoist.commit()
                
                print("Imported", task_info['Name'])
                    
        except Exception as exp:
            print("Exception occured for this task: {}".format(task['Name']))
            print("Exception details => {}".format(exp))
            print("**"*20)
            continue

Thanks!!
