Hello everyone,

I have been using Gnucash for personal accounting for the last couple of years. I have questions about CSV imports relevant to this thread:

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2017-March/069914.html

1. Using Gnucash 2.6.18, my experience is that it is not straightforward to import transactions from CSV using a CSV /I have generated using GNUCash/, into exactly the same account structure.

Am I missing something here?

2. Looking over previous threads, I understand that Gnucash's CSV import cannot really handle multi-split transactions. I need multi-split transactions and I can code well in Python but am useless in Gnucash's native C/C++. The solutions that immediately come to mind are trying to shoehorn the data in using Gnucash's Python API (bad) or to use Python to reshape the CSV into a more Gnucash-friendly object (easier -> better). However, the threads I have seen focus more on the general notion that CSV import really isn't going to be ready for prime time until 2.8 than on the kinds of things CSV import can currently do well. I am interested in the latter.


Apologies for retreading ground that I am sure comes up a lot. Thanks for your help.


Best


Nick Judd
