06:45:37 <joepater> How difficult would it be to write a script to add transactions? Something like `buy Shoes 35.00`? I'm not desperate for it, but it would make my life a little easier.
07:05:37 *** Aussie_matt has joined #gnucash
07:13:28 <fell> joepate, it depends on your situation: some of us can use online-banking, some import csv files, some have written their python scripts.
07:14:36 *** mydogsnameisrudy has joined #gnucash
07:31:39 <joepater> @fell: I use gnucash mostly to keep track of the stuff I buy, and it's a little inconvenient having to open a whole GUI program whenever I order something online. How would I go about writing such a python script? Or where could I find one to copy?
07:31:39 <gncbot> joepater: Error: "fell:" is not a valid command.

07:37:29 <fell> depending on how you pay online, https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/De/Paypal_einrichten could be of interest. (needs translation)

08:11:32 <warlord> joepater, why not just leave the GUI running, so all you need to do is de-iconify it, open the register, save, close register, and then iconify again?
08:11:32 <gncbot> warlord: Sent 21 hours and 4 minutes ago: <chintanbs> also i created the mutual fund (security) under the Assets:Investments:Retirement Accounts: Vanguard:Mutual Fund account, as part of setting up my new accounts, as I am just getting started on Gnucash.

08:23:39 <joepater> warlord: Thanks for the suggestion. As I said, I'm not desperate for it, but I prefer doing stuff from the shell where possible.

08:26:22 *** David has joined #gnucash
08:32:21 <joepater> Okay, I've worked out how to get an Account. How do I create and apply a Transaction? The docs aren't great.

09:28:17 <fell> I have just linked it from https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Python_shell#Usage_examples
10:02:15 <warlord> joepater, I don't understand the question. Are you asking "how do I enter a transaction into GnuCash?" Umm, go read the documentation which goes into great detail about that. www.gnucash.org -> documentation
10:02:23 <warlord> I recommend the Tutorial & Guide
10:06:48 <joepater> warlord: Sorry, I mean in the python bindings.
10:07:11 <warlord> Oh, no clue how to do that.

11:09:59 <joepater> I'm making some progress with the python script. In testing, I seem to have locked a .gnucash file and didn't unlock it. Is there a way to unlock it manually?
11:11:17 <joepater> Never mind, deleting file.gnucash.LCK worked

12:22:52 <joepater> fell: The script is up and running. Thanks for your help.
12:23:31 <fell> welcome! .-)
12:26:42 <warlord> yay
12:32:25 <joepater> If someone comes looking for a similar script in the future, I'm happy for them to email me at "02joe pater06@gmail.com" (without space)
12:35:03 <warlord> jralls, fyi, the fact that you were able to email me (and not get blocked in the same manner) means that you're round-robining your outgoing MTA.
12:35:18 <warlord> Strange, however, that it's using IPv4 and not IPv6.

15:26:01 <jralls> warlord, I guess that they're still using ipv4 for mail on the grounds that there are still a lot of MTAs out there that don't take ipv6. Or maybe that @home set it up 30 years ago and they're too cheap to hire someone to update it.
15:32:42 <warlord> jralls, maybe.
