A beancount file is just a plain text file. It sounds like you're on Windows? You can use any editor to edit beancount files. For some editors (like Emacs and vim, but they are more popular on Linux and macOS), there are plugins for beancount which do stuff like syntax highlighting or tab completion for account names. I'm not sure if this is available for a common editor on Windows. (Although Emacs and vim probably work there.) > Btw, I have no prior experiance with Python. Should I take a Python > class first ? You don't need to know Python to use beancount. If you want to enhance beancount, for example by writing bank importers or plugins, then you'd need Python. -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
