> Getting our QuickBooks data into GnuCash took a bit of scripting using the capable (if poorly documented) Python bindings. Another set of scripts has since been written to import data from the site and from our bank account. GnuCash has a reasonably capable import mechanism for the data formats exported by banks, complete with a Bayesian system to assign transactions to accounts, but a bit of scripting makes the process quicker yet.
I assume the person who posted this to HN is not the article's author, but if the author happens to be reading, it would be very helpful to see these scripts. The difficulty of writing custom scripts for GnuCash data is one of its main limitations IMO.
- freedomben 3y agoSome of the scripts are available here: git://git.lwn.net/qb-escape.git But yes I heartily agree, those scripts would be immensely helpful even just as an example/reference for somebody writing their own.
