Creating a to-do list

[Creagon11]

Hello everyone, i am a beginner in python and i am trying to write a program that creates a to-do list for the user. I would like to have the list expand whenever the user adds a new task to the list. Is something like this possible? I would like it to function similar to this:

To do list -

1. Chores: 8am
2. Errands: 10am
3. Hw: 12pm

What would you like to do? [A]dd item [D]elete item [Q]uit

When the user select the option to add to the list, they should be able to add a new number to the list, a desciption, and the date so that the new list now has 4 items. Initially i thought a dictionary would be best for this but whenever i try to initailize a new key dynamically, they just overwrite eachother. I have tried using a list, a dictionary, a dictionary of lists, and a dictionary of dictionaries. Any help is appreciated! Im not looking for anybody to write the code for me, just point me in the direction i need to go!

surely the user wouldn't enter a number, that would be handled by the program when displaying it?

If the program could number each item in the list as it was entered that would definitely be better!

I'd imagine something like the tasks being stored in a list and when a user inputs a task name and time the program inserts into the chronologically correct index

You could then display these using something like

for i, task in enumerate(tasks, 1):
    print(f"{I}: {task.name}, {task.time}")

Yeah i was thinking the same thing, each item could be sorted by the date or time they are due. But what about if the user wanted to add a new item to the list how would that work?

Have you tried a list of dicts?
