Write a module to parse the history of Chrome/Chromium

Add chromium history

[novoid]

Memacs has a module that indexes the Firefox browsing history: https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/docs/memacs_firefox_history.org @11111000000 would like to see a similar module that deals with the Chrome/Chromium browsers and their history data. Thanks for helping!

@novoid, Thank you for developing Memacs. It is really cool!

I added the chrome-history module to this through the PR - https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/pull/79

Please let me know if this works!

Thanks and have a great day! Bala

@11111000000 can you confirm that the module works on your side?

I installed Chrome and tried it myself and I now get:

vk@sherri ~/src/memacs (git)-[master] % PYTHONPATH="${HOME}/src/memacs/memacs:" python3 bin/memacs_chrome.py --file "$HOME/.config/google-chrome/Default/History"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/memacs_chrome.py", line 5, in <module>
    from memacs.chrome import Chrome

    from lib.memacs import Memacs

    from .lib.orgformat import OrgFormat
SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import

However, my unit tests and other modules are working fine. Does this error only occur at my side?

@balaramadurai What does your command look like?

I have created another PR - https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/pull/81

Let's see if this one works. I realized that the python libraries I used were from pip install and hence has python2.7. So, I copied them from the github clone to the python3.6 python libraries. Now, it seems to have been updated.

Thanks and have a great day! Bala
