It should probably be -d -1w for consistency, but I fear this will clash 
with option parser.

I did the very first step by moving the code from t_set_due to dateutils.py.

Actually I was thinking about merging t_list and t_export. It would 
require adding two options:

-o,--output to optionally redirect the output to a file.
--format to define the output format:
- table: the actual output
- list:  the simple version you implemented
- xml:   from t_export
- csv:         "
- html:        "

The implementation should use different renderer classes, based on the 
format.

We could even add a bit of magic to change the format based on the file 
extension if the format is not explicitly set. This way you could do:
"t_list -d thisweek -o weeklyreport.html"
"t_list -d thismonth -o monthlyreport.xml"

And Yokadi would output the right document.

PS: I just pushed the interfacing of YokadiOptionParser and Cmd helps!
