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

I have not tested on Python2.7. Looking at the traceback it isn't clear to me why it would fail.

Could you provide me with some examples of the dates in the enex file?

zhaocai commented 13 years ago

I go to the python-dateutil website and find the problem.

The following files are available. python-dateutil-2.0.tar.gz (Python >= 3.0) python-dateutil-1.5.tar.gz (Python < 3.0)

pip installs the 2.0 version by default even for python 2.7. I works now after I install 1.5 version sudo pip install python-dateutil==1.5 Maybe you can put this in the readme

One more quick question: I am not familiar with json. Can ever2simple export markdown format directly?

I've not tested on Python 3 at all, so I'll need make sure the <2.0 version gets pulled down
