Martin, sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is this *transactions *module, which you import here <https://github.com/blais/ameritrade/blob/1b5ddae18ba3abbff19a9538e2e4f1cab3fed84a/examples/ameritrade2beancount_test.py#L8> ?
and then you use *transactions.RunDispatch(txn) <https://github.com/blais/ameritrade/blob/1b5ddae18ba3abbff19a9538e2e4f1cab3fed84a/examples/ameritrade2beancount_test.py#L32> *, however RunDispatch is defined in ameritrade2beancount <https://github.com/blais/ameritrade/blob/master/examples/ameritrade2beancount.py> On Saturday, October 10, 2020 at 3:23:56 AM UTC+2 [email protected] wrote: > You can either write a custom script and just print out to stdout, or use > the ingest framework. > > Here's an example of a custom standalone script that converts from > Ameritrade: > > https://github.com/blais/ameritrade/blob/master/examples/ameritrade2beancount.py > > The ingest library only provides a framework to help you automate some of > the process of automatically identifying the files in your downloads > directory, run the extraction of transactions (that you write) and file > away the downloads.
