Convert a Google Takeout zip file containing Google Keep notes to a directory of text files, suitable for import into systems such as Evernote
Use Google Takeout to get a zip file, which will contain your Keep notes
NOTE: Be sure that only Keep files are included in the Google Takeout zip file, not contacts or any other Google data
Usage:
simple usage: python keepToText.py zipFile
full usage: python keepToText.py [-h] [--encoding ENCODING] [--system-encoding] [--format {Evernote,CintaNotes}] zipFile
By default, the text files will be placed in a directory called Text, under the same
directory as the zip file. You may import that folder into Evernote.
If you specify --format CintaNotes, a single cintanotes.xml file containing all your notes will be
created in the same directory as the zip file. You may import that folder into CintaNotes.
