Built a tool to load Evernote exported notes (ENEX files) into a SQLite database - so now I can load them into Datasette and see all of my notes on a map! github.com/dogsheep/evern… 
ENEX is a slightly tricky format - each note is CDATA XML embedded in a larger XML document, plus base64 attachments (usually images).
All of my notes exported at once result in an XML file that's 2.6GB!

One neat detail is that the output of Evernote's cloud OCR system (run automatically against every image embedded in a note) is available in the XML. evernote-to-sqlite extracts out these OCR strings and uses them to populate a SQLite full-text search table.
I just updated dogsheep.github.io with the latest Dogsheep tools - including three new ones that weren't written by my (I'd fallen behind on reviewing the pull requests for that repo)
While building evernote-to-sqlite I dusted off a 2009 project I built for analyzing an XML file and outputting a summary of the elements contained within - that's published to PyPI now as xml-analyser github.com/simonw/xml-ana…
(As a resident of the USA, these days I usually spell analyzer with a Z - but since I started this project in the UK I decided to keep the S. I did register pypi.org/project/xml-an… on PyPI to guard against typo-squatting though!)
