WorkLogPy: Keep track of what you are working on (Python 3). Writes a timestamped message to a CSV file.

worklog.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#v2.2

from random import choice
from datetime import datetime

def wlog(answer,now):
    with open(f"worklog-{now:%Y%m%d}.csv", "a") as f:
            f.write(f'"{now}","{answer.strip()}"\n')

def main():
    wlog('--start session--', datetime.now() )

    while True:
        try:
            answer = input("Working on: ")
            if answer.strip() == '':
                break
            now = datetime.now()
            wlog(answer, now )
            print(f"[{now:%a %H:%M}] ✓")
        except EOFError:
            break

    wlog('--stop session--', now )

if __name__== "__main__":
    main()

v1.0.3: only keep the file open to write, so that changes are always saved. Previous versions would keep the log open when the script was running, preventing dropbox syncing.

v2.2: ctrl-d or enter to quit. works on python2 default systems. f-strings, code more elegant. day based csv files.
