completing task within vit would hang

[pekcheey]

I use vit as a frontend to taskwarrior. and it hang while completing tasks with the hook installed. So I made the following workaround.

                        time.sleep(0.25)
+                       sleep_limit -=1

                with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode="wt") as new_task:

I guess task_pid = os.getppid() is reading the ID of the vit process.

it's an ugly hack. but I'm just putting it here for reference for the next better solution. :)

And who doesn't like an ugly hook hack? :-) I've posted it on the taskwarrior discord server under #hooks-and-hacks. https://discord.gg/n4K3zBYJJs Thanks! djp
