helper script to convert creative-tim templates to Jinja2 templates. It may not catch every conversion but it does get hte majority of them.

"""
This script will help take a creative-tim theme, and convert it to a jinja2 template that can be used in a Flask
application.

It essentially takes all of the href to files, and wraps them in a url_for to the static directory.

It may not get everything, but it does a decent job of getting a lot of the links setup for jinja2 and Flask.
