Learning Objectives: In this capstone project, you'll apply everything you've learned by building a complete CLI application with async operations, proper testing, type hints, design patterns, and professional packaging.
Project Overview: TaskFlow
We'll build TaskFlow, a task management CLI tool that demonstrates all the advanced Python concepts from this course.

Key Takeaways
| Lesson | Applied In Project |
|---|---|
| Decorators | Plugin registration, CLI commands |
| Generators | Lazy task filtering, iteration |
| Context Managers | Async storage with auto-save |
| Type Hints | Full type annotations, Protocol |
| Metaclasses | Plugin auto-discovery (optional) |
| Threading/Async | Non-blocking file I/O |
| Testing | pytest fixtures, async tests |
| Design Patterns | Factory, Strategy, Repository |
| Packaging | pyproject.toml, entry points |
Your Challenge
Now it's your turn! Extend TaskFlow with:
- SQLite backend - Add database storage option
- Due date reminders - Notification system (Observer pattern)
- Task dependencies - Block tasks until prereqs done
- Time tracking - Track time spent on tasks
- Sync to cloud - Add cloud storage plugin
Congratulations on completing Python Advanced! You're now equipped to build professional-grade Python applications.
