Program Reference Card Script

Hi there!
I have written a Python script that converts the mostly-useless HTML program list output of Nord Sound Manager into a two-dimensional program reference card. I find this useful for my (new to me) Electro 4D.
I posted this script earlier this week in the Electro forum, but since I have now enhanced it to also support the Stage 2, I thought I would post again separately in the general forum. The script produces an HTML file that you need to load in a web browser and print.
Hoping that this will be generally useful and can be improved by community effort, I have created a GitHub project for it. You can get the script and more details about what it does and how to use it from the GitHub page here:
http://github.com/10x10sw/NordUser/tree/master/RefCard
I'll attach sample output for the NE4D and NS2, since pictures probably describe this better than words:

I tried it out. In my case it showed a syntax error in the make_etc..py file from Your link(it said: print statement on line 214 needs parenthesis). I fixed it and put print (html) instead print html and now I have this nice program cards for my Nord Stage 2 for each bank. Very practical. Thank You very much.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how can I use the script? I have the HTML program list output of Nord Sound Manager, but I don't know how to convert it...
Thank you very much!

You need a Python interpreter (I am using Python 2.7). This is that's installed by default on Mac OS X and (I expect) Linux. For Windows, you need to install it yourself, probably from here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
Open a terminal or command window in the folder where you have saved the script, and type this to run the script (I renamed my Program List HTML to "ne4d_program.html"):
python make_nord_refcard ne4d_program.html -v -r -t "Electro 4D" -o refcard.html
There is more information on the GitHub page:
https://github.com/10x10sw/NordUser/tree/master/RefCard . Also,
koloman pointed out that a small change is needed for Python 3 — I'll update the code on GitHub after I confirm that this is the only thing required for Python 3.

cEgws ,
First version of refcard working fine on my Mac, but a new version is not working - I see this:
"make_nord_refcard.py", line 5
<!DOCTYPE html>
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax"
what's wrong?
BTW - Could You write 'refcard' for Nord Lead A1?

It looks to me as if you might have saved the GitHub web page, not the "raw" script. Please double-check. Here's the link to the raw source for the script:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/10x10 ... refcard.py
Please send me the program HTML file saved from NSM for the Nord Lead A1 and i'll see what I can do.

I have updated the script to support the program and performance exports from Nord Lead A1. The updated script is available here:
