Is there instructions on using the script on Windows 10? I've tried typing out some of the commands into Python and it's giving me invalid syntax errors.

Thanks for creating this script. It is a huge help! However I get the following error:

I seem to get this error when the script tries to process photos that I have manually uploaded to Gphotos, rather than those uploaded by my phone automatically. I should mention that i use the --divide-to-dates tag.

Is it possible to include an ignore-errors flag that simply skips photos with incorrect date strings? Alternatively, puts the photos into a non-sorted folder?

My goal is to get all my Lists out of Google maps and into Open Street Maps. Which I think means Maps.me on mobile?

Apple has a new HEIC format that doesn't seem to be supported well on my Ubuntu installation

Thanks for this! Downloaded this script only to extract attachments from my mbox file. Since I was just using the mail.py utility, I didn't install the requirements for photos.py, however, I had to comment out the import photos in order for the script to run.

For people in a similar situation, it would be helpful if the program only imported dependencies required for the run. This could be done by removing the imports from the beginning of the script, and import within the methods themselves.

Removed:

import mail
import photos

Changed:

def _maybe_organize_photos_takeout(takeout_dir):
    if not takeout_dir:
        print('Invalid (or no) Photos takeout archive directory specified. Not '
              'extracting photos from archives.')
        return
    else:
        organize_photos = input('Organize Photos takeout archives? y/n: ')
        organize_photos = distutils.util.strtobool(organize_photos)
        if not organize_photos:
            return
    import photos
    photos.organize_photos_takeout(takeout_dir)


def _maybe_extract_email_attachments(mbox_file_path):
    if (mbox_file_path and os.path.isfile(mbox_file_path) and
            mbox_file_path.endswith('.mbox')):
        answer = input('Extract mailbox attachments? y/n: ')
        answer = distutils.util.strtobool(answer)
        if answer:
            import mail
            mail.extract_mail_attachments(mbox_file_path)
    else:
        print('Invalid (or no) .mbox path specified. Not extracting email '
              'attachments.')
