Hi Jim, and thanks for the response.

Package: python3-gnucash Version: 1:4.8-1build2 State: installed Section: universe/python Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]> Architecture: amd64 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libpython3.10 (>= 3.10.0), python3 (< 3.11), python3 (>= 3.10~), python3:any As you can see from Depends, it installs bindings for python3 >= 3.10~ < 3.11. 3.10.12 is the version of Python3 installed on my OS, so this should conform (no wonder, since it is an OS package). Maybe some other libraries (like libc6?, etc.) are incompatible between gnucash and python3-gnucash? Can you do `import gnucash` from a Python REPL?
