This is a simple command line utility written in Python. It simply reads a pipe delimited text file with task ids (unique number), task name, and the command to be executed.

For example:

0|modify task list|vim ~/tasks.txt
1|check the weather|python weather.py

weather.py is custom python app using forecast.io to display the forecast in the terminal

The utility reads all lines and displays them in the terminal, then prompts you for a number. When you enter the task number and press enter, the command is executed.
