""" This is a python image converter specific for the E-Paper-Calendar on github by aceisace from the link below. (https://github.com/aceisace/E-Paper-Calendar-with-iCal-sync-and-live-weather) It will convert the 3-colour .bmp's to 2-colour .bmp's so that they can be used even with the 2-Colour 7.5" E-Paper Display from waveshare. Please use with caution. If the input and output paths are the same, the convertr will overwrite all .bmp files. It's highly recommended to make a backup of the entire 'Calendar" folder first.
