There are hundreds of todo lists on the web, some commercial and many free.  So why do we need yet another one?  The truthful answer is we probably don't, but I was looking for something a little different.  What I wanted was a simple way to carry my tasks around on a USB stick.  With some computers running Linux and others Windows, the program needed to be capable of running on different platforms.  I didn't need fancy graphics or editing, so ikog.py was born.
