n2ev.py

# takes all HTML files in a directory, dumps it to evernote notebook.
# usage: designed for quick transfer of apple notes to evernote
# using the tool provided at https://github.com/pmatiello/notes-export
# first to get html files dumped in a notebook.
# then call from command line:
# python n2ev.py DEVTOKEN FULLPATHTODIR NOTEBOOKNAME
# DEVTOKEN is a developer token for your evernote acconut, which can
# be acquired from evernote: https://dev.evernote.com/#apikey
# FULLPATHTODIR is, obviously, the path to the directory in which your notes
# are stored, as html files.  NOTEBOOKNAME is the new evernote notebook to
# be created.  I have no idea what will happen if you give it a name that
# already exists, and strongly recommend you don't do so.
# also FULLPATHTODIR should not have anything other than the html files in it
# (and from which it follows that it should not be the same directory as
# this script is stored in)
#
# in addition to the standard library, this REQUIRES:
# evernote module, which can be installed via pip.
# beautifulsoup, ditto.
#
# I'm not responsible if you delete your shit using this.  Only run it if
# you know how to code.
