just installed using pip as instructed and tried with the following error.

I followed instructions, installed into a virtualenv, etc. and got error
==== Error 1
from html2text import _html2text
ImportError: cannot import name _html2text
==== Error 1
so i changed the line to: import html2text
and changed line 85 to: html2plain = html2text.html2text(None, "")
and got a different error
==== Error 2
File "/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ever2simple/html2text.py", line 234, in feed
data = data.replace("</' + 'script>", "")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'
==== Error 2
So it doesn't like the None in line 85 of your convertor?
I changed it to str: html2plain = html2text.html2text(str, "")
and got...
==== Error 3
File "lib/python2.7/site-packages/ever2simple/html2text.py", line 234, in feed
data = data.replace("</' + 'script>", "")
TypeError: replace() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
==== Error 3
of course that doesn't even begin to address the fact that what I really need is a CSV...
but any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

It understandable that the output is plain text, but is it possible to output the inline images as well?

Markdown supports images inline, and can do two things:

1. A local reference to an "images" or "attachments" folder
2. BASE64 encoding in the image tag

I tried installing on laptop running xubuntu and Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) and was not able to. Would you have any suggestions?
pip.log.zip

installed fine using pip - but when executed ran into following error :

Hi,
I have been able to install on my windows using Python 2.7 and pip but I am not able to find the exe or to make it work.
There are these two folders:
c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\ever2simple
c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\ever2simple-2.0-py2.7.egg-info
But when trying to launch them it does not work.
Did I miss any steps?

Thanks!

Hi!
I was able to install your app and run it, however, it seems to not accept any arguments to the file or filepath the the enex file. I've attempted relative paths, and full qualified paths, with and without quoted identifiers... no luck
Any ideas on why this is failing? Thanks in advance!
Command:
C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Python>ever2simple DeveloperOuttake.enex

When i try this with Python 2.7.2 on Windows 7 64bit with a fresh exported .enex file:

ever2simple Evernote.enex -o simplenote -f dir

i get this error:

the format of the created-nodes is 20160324T131701Z in my enex file

Just installed successfully and got this error while running the app

This is what appears there:
 

I installed ever2simple using pip, but got this when I tried to run it:

print 'File does not exist: %s' % filepath
      ^

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('File does not exist: %s' % filepath)?

This is in the code.py file. I don't know git well enough to edit the file and then install it.

Thanks,
