This .py shell reads the name of images created by split_voc_train_from_imageAndAnnotations in the train.txt and val.txt in the 
ImageSets/Main folder and creat label folder and convert xml to .txt file for the darknet training and also create 2007_trin.txt
2007_val.txt and train.txt file that is used for final traing.
No of sets to create i.e this will create 2007_train.txt and 2007_val.txt
