python package management is, IMHO, a complete disaster. also IMHO beancount has lingering out of date documentation files, as well as multiple simultaneous versions, that make it a bit challenging to get a working setup. that said, magicbeans is probably even more finicky and harder to get running :-D if you feel like trying it out, I have a draft of some install and configuration instructions here: https://github.com/ericaltendorf/magicbeans/pull/1/commits/b81deb54f66d39ddd3f1b975ae0b08241c30e413 > > > On Sunday, February 25, 2024 at 1:04:42 PM UTC-5 [email protected] > wrote: > >> If you're new to both Beancount and Python, it could be ambitious to get >> deep into this experimental package :) But no harm in giving it a try! >> >> I will write some installation/getting-started docs on github and then >> get back to you.
