The main idea

I really like Ditz. There’s a few tiny changes I want to make, so I’m making a python project, called pitz.

What is pitz

Pitz is a issue-tracking system with these goals:

• Your to-do list lives in flat files right next to your code.
• The to-do list objects (entities) serialize and deserialize to a plain-text format, so that standard diff tools can expose how issues evolved over time and objects can be edited with any editor.
• You can use your source control system (git, svn, zipped files, whatever) to track history.
• Entities can hold arbitrary attributes and values. In other words, the user of the library defines what fields to track.
• Complex queries are straightforward to write.

Ingredients

• Pitz uses yaml to serialize and unserialize data.
• Pitz uses IPython for the pitz-shell component and jinja2 to produce some output.
