Create a txt from all your exported Google Keep notes (from Google Takeout) using the JSON files, with python.

Google Keep is a great on the cloud tool, but it is always nice to backup things locally, with google Takeout
(https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout) you can download everything from Keep, this will include some HTML files,
JSON files, attachments and other files, it is bulky and those are not very handy sometimes.

The script creates a txt file for each of your valuable google keep notes (using only the .JSON files), with
differing behaviors for texts and lists, I only required the non trashed notes, but this is easily changeable in line 32
title goes to the .txt filename,
first row indicates what kind of note is,
second row is note color,
third row include all labels / tags,
fourth row has last modification date,
fifth row points to attachments, if any,
sixth row indicates if pinned,
seventh row indicates if it is archived,
all rows starting on row 9 are the note contents
