hmm... sqlite file. Not going to be as easy as converting plain text, but still more than doable. :-) Thank goodness for python's native sqlite support!

Edit:
I'll try and google again for a mnemosyne file in the mean time.

Edit 2:
I'v found an example file, but I'm not yet sure what kind of file it is. It appears to be a database file, but not in sqlite format. It appears to be a pickled binary, which pythhon can handle. Now I just need to find out which fields I need from anki file and convnert.

Also, the anki database seems to be more complicated than I though. As such, I will have to take a minute to study its structure.

BTW: I tried running anki in scratchbox and get errors about not being able to import QtWebkit, even though the deb packages is clearly installed. Anyone else?

Edit 3:
The file I downloaded seems to be corrupted so i still need a valid mnemosyn file in order to try and work this.

It does seem that mnemosyn saves less data than anki, so converting to anki might not be so bad.
