Could you write me a small python software that start as my windows and sorting daily task list?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
To create a small Python program that starts with Windows and sorts a daily task list, you can follow the steps below. Note that this is a simple implementation and may not cover all possible use cases or preferences.
___
**Step 1**: Install Python

First, make sure you have Python installed on your computer. You can download Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
___
**Step 2**: Create the Python script

Create a new Python file (e.g., daily_task_sorter.py) and write the following code:

```python
import os
import json

def load_tasks(file_path):
    if os.path.exists(file_path):
        with open(file_path, "r") as file:
            tasks = json.load(file)
    else:
        tasks = []

    return tasks

def save_tasks(tasks, file_path):
    with open(file_path, "w") as file:
        json.dump(tasks, file, indent=4)

def sort_tasks(tasks):
    tasks.sort(key=lambda x: x["priority"])

def main():
    file_path = "tasks.json"
    tasks = load_tasks(file_path)

    print("Unsorted tasks:")
    for task in tasks:
        print(f"{task['name']} - Priority: {task['priority']}")

    sort_tasks(tasks)

    print("\nSorted tasks:")
    for task in tasks:
        print(f"{task['name']} - Priority: {task['priority']}")

    save_tasks(tasks, file_path)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

This script reads a JSON file (tasks.json) containing tasks with their priorities, sorts them, and saves the sorted list back to the file. The script also prints the tasks before and after sorting.
___
**Step 3**: Create a tasks.json file

Create a new JSON file (tasks.json) in the same directory as your Python script and add your tasks in the following format:

```json
[
    {
        "name": "Task 1",
        "priority": 1
    },
    {
        "name": "Task 2",
        "priority": 3
    },
    {
        "name": "Task 3",
        "priority": 2
    }
]
```

Replace "Task 1", "Task 2", and "Task 3" with your actual tasks, and set the appropriate priority levels (lower numbers have higher priority).
___
**Step 4**: Set up the script to run on startup

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, type shell:startup, and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder in Windows Explorer.
2. Create a shortcut to the Python script (daily_task_sorter.py) in the Startup folder.

Now, when you restart your computer, the Python script will run automatically and sort your daily task list in the tasks.json file.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
I would like to write a short script in Python that will run on startup and sort out my daily task list located at C:\Users\User\Desktop\task_list.txt<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Sure, here's an example script that you can use as a starting point:
```
import os

# Define the path to the task list file
task_list_path = 'C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\task_list.txt'

# Read the contents of the file into a list
with open(task_list_path, 'r') as f:
    tasks = f.read().splitlines()

# Sort the tasks in alphabetical order
tasks.sort()

# Write the sorted tasks back to the file
with open(task_list_path, 'w') as f:
    f.write('\n'.join(tasks))
```
Here's what the script does:

   1. It imports the **os** module, which we will use to interact with the file system.
   2. It defines the path to the task list file using a string variable.
   3. It reads the contents of the file into a list using the open() function and the read() method.
   4. It sorts the tasks in alphabetical order using the sort() method.
   5. It writes the sorted tasks back to the file using the open() function and the write() method.

To run this script on startup, you will need to add it to the Windows startup folder. Here's how you can do that:

   1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
   2. Type **shell:startup** and press Enter. This will open the startup folder for the current user.
   3. Right-click in the folder and select New > Shortcut.
   4. In the Create Shortcut dialog box, type **python** followed by the path to the script file, enclosed in quotes (e.g. "C:\Users\User\Scripts\sort_tasks.py").
   5. Click Next, give the shortcut a name (e.g. "Sort Task List"), and click Finish.

Now, when you log in to Windows, the script will automatically run and sort your task list.<|im_end|>
