Will need to refactor if this is still going to work in the future.

Right now, the Project Tasks endpoint expands on everything, and there's no filtering on stories and other calls. If it's possible, we should check to see if it can make the mailer a bit faster.

Currently, Asana's API returns the text of any comment with the actual links to Asana objects (such as tagging a user in a comment with the "@" tag). It would be nice if this actually generated a hyperlink with the name of the user/project/object as the text of the link (keeping the actual hyperlink).

It needs unit tests for a better tomorrow.

Especially during network requests.

Thanks for making this available! Would be great to see support for subtasks, with their own assignees and due dates.

• Mapping out 3-4 use cases for how to invoke the mailer
• Brief setup instructions using pip + requirements.

Currently, API calls are not limited for completed tasks, and instead completed tasks are filtered after the data has been retrieved (API calls are however limited for gathering comments for tasks that will ultimately be filtered).

Asana has added a "completed_since" query parameter which should clean up a good bit of this code.

By parsing the assignees of all bugs in the mailer, we can create a dynamic list of users to email, and leave the Cc line for those who are always on the list (or a distribution list)

Since we're retrieving all of the comments for a task anyways, we should be able to have the template show all of the comments (as well as filter that to a week's comments, or the like). The goal should be to sort this by date so it's still easy to filter by date (or as in the original case, retrieve the last comment.

Is there a technical or design reason why this project is not using the official Python Asana API (https://github.com/Asana/python-asana)?

For simpler setup.

Boo. As a result, new lines are not preserved in descriptions in the default HTML template.

In particular, removing sections with no tasks is done before filtering completed tasks.

Right now, completed tasks only show up if they've been completed within the last 36 hours. We should to expose the timeframe as a custom option.
