API package for rememberthemilk.com
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you have an existing codebase already using it. The package is abandoned (last release 2019-04-02), targets obsolete Python versions (2.6–3.1), and has no maintainer to address API changes or compatibility issues. Modern Python versions and current RTM API behavior are unverified. If you need RTM integration, consider whether the Remember the Milk API has official or actively maintained client libraries, or evaluate alternative task management APIs.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Remember the Milk API key and shared secret; the package targets Python 2.6–3.1 and compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified.
- Installation is frictionless with no runtime dependencies, but the package is abandoned—last release was 2019-04-02, over 2691 days ago.
- It was classified as Beta and targets Python 2.6–3.1, so compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified.

What it is and what it does
RtmAPI is a Python wrapper around the Remember the Milk REST API, letting you build desktop or web applications that read and modify task lists stored in RTM. It handles authentication (desktop and web flows), wraps API responses in Python objects with convenient property access, and manages lists of XML child elements so you can iterate over tasks naturally.
The package has no external runtime dependencies and installs easily, but it is abandoned—last updated in 2019 and targeting Python 2.6–3.1. While the MIT license is permissive, the lack of maintenance means no updates for API changes, security issues, or modern Python compatibility. It remains moderately downloaded, suggesting some continued use, but new projects should verify whether RTM's API and this binding still work as documented.
Use it for
- Build a desktop Python script to sync or export your Remember the Milk tasks to another system
- Automate task creation or updates in RTM from a Python application or workflow
- Query and analyze your task lists programmatically for reporting or personal analytics
- Integrate RTM task data into a custom Python dashboard or management tool
