Our common use case is to enter stories by label, i.e. I first create an admin label, enter all stories related to it, then go on to an user label, create all the stories related to it and so on.

It would be great if pivotal_tools could have this in. I'd expect it to work like this:

What label would you like to create stories on?
>> admin

CREATING STORIES FOR MY SIMPLE PROJECT [label: admin]
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Title:
>> My story title

---> Story "My story title" created under label 'admin'.

Title:
>> My other story title

--> Story "My other story title" created under label 'admin'.

Title:
>>[enter]

What label would you like to create stories on?
>> user

And on.

I'll try to contribute to it later on, despite my non-existent Python skills.

It's a great tool, thanks for sharing it with the community!

Great tool, I especially like to use this in our morning standups. However, we typically discuss what was done yesterday in addition to what we are working on today. So I was trying to add a function to return all of the stories that were done yesterday. The following query works in the tracker UI

accepted:-1d..today

So I would like to use the results of this to include 'what I finished yesterday' in the scrum tool, but when I try to create a function in pivotal.py to do this such as

def accepted_in_last_day_stories(self):
        return self.get_stories('accepted:-1d..today')

I get 0 results. Do you know if this is a limitation of the v3 API or if there is another way to accomplish what I am looking for (stories accepted in the last day)?

Tasks related to a story are not displayed in show_story. It's also not possible to add, remove, edit, or mark them.

Hey, looks like I’m getting Python encoding errors if my Pivotal project name has a non-ASCII character in it, specifically ‘é’ in my case.

The error:

$ pivotal_tools changelog
Select a Project:
[1] An ASCII Project Name
[2] Another ASCII Project Name
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pivotal_tools", line 9, in <module>

    print "[{}] {}".format(idx+1, project.name)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

The line in question:

print "[{}] {}".format(idx+1, project.name)

Adding the unicode u does fix the problem:

print u"[{}] {}".format(idx+1, project.name)

But I guess this will be a tool-wide issue. Happy to submit a PR if needed, depending on what you think the correct way to fix this is.

Cheers :)

Feel free to disagree, but I think it's a good idea to have them so we don't eventually get regressions.

When I pass --project-index to show_story, I get error displayed below.
Without specifying this option, it works as expected.

I've installed to a virtualenv, with pip install.
Running on Ubuntu 12.10 (server), Python 2.7.3

I apologize for how non-specific this issue is.

I set $PIVOTAL_TOKEN and confirmed that it's correct. But none of the commands work - show_stories always returns None, and add_story gives me a traceback with HTTP 400 (bad request).

Perhaps the solution is better error handling for bad tokens?

Hi, it's me again. The real problem from #1 is that we have our project set up to require access via HTTPS. pivotal_tools uses hard-coded HTTP urls.

I may or may not invest the time to write a patch and fix it. I'd imagine just replacing http with https would work, though ideally there'd be some kind of protocol variable in the URL format strings.

Would it be possible to show stories based on labels?

Thanks
