Hi all,

here you can find a Python 2.x script to extract the annotations and highlights from an .annot file generated by the Odyssey.

You need Python 2.x and python-lxml installed. Confirmed to work under Linux and Windows.

Usage:

$ python export_Odyssey_notes.py [ARGUMENTS]

Arguments:
 -h, --help          : print this usage message and exit
 -f, --file <file>   : <file> is the path to .annot file
 -c, --csv           : output CSV values, instead of human-readable strings
 -o, --output <file> : write output to <file>

Exit codes:

 0 = no error
 1 = invalid argument(s) error
 2 = specified file not found
 4 = provided file is not a valid .annot file
 8 = output file cannot be written

Examples:

 1. Print this usage message
    $ python export_Odyssey_notes.py -h

 2. Print annotations and highlit passages in human-readable form
    $ python export_Odyssey_notes.py -f ebook.epub.annot

 3. As above, but output to output.txt
    $ python export_Odyssey_notes.py -f ebook.epub.annot -o output.txt

 4. As above, but output in CSV form
    $ python export_Odyssey_notes.py -c -f ebook.epub.annot

 5. As above, but output to output.csv
    $ python export_Odyssey_notes.py -c -f ebook.epub.annot -o output.csv
