RTM Task Emailer

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
RTM Task emailer

Emails all current incomplete RTM tasks.  It uses a gmail account to
send the email.

SETUP:
Edit RTM_USERNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD below
The first time you run the script, run it with the "auth" argument

    $ ./rtm-emailer.py auth

The script will print a URL, which you must visit to authenticate this
script.  The RTM website will provide you with a frob value, which you
must paste here.

Subsequent executions of the script will no longer need the "auth"
argument and can run non-interactively.  Use cron to get daily emails.

Debug information is printed to stderr, when you are logging to a file,
redirect stderr to /dev/null.

    $ ./rtm-emailer.py 2>/dev/null
