Job tasks, time, and money logging (Python programming).

This very simple application is the first code I wrote in Python. Contractors working on computers may find it useful.
It keeps track of time spent, work done, and money earned on any number of projects.
This way, if you are a contractor, you will have an easy way of keeping track of your hours.

Log.py

Send a python programming feedback, or see a more complex GUI application written in Python - time series analysis software.
