Hi all, I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask, but I have been reading through the git repository for beancount in jwiegley's github space... In doc/pyledger*, there is a pastebin- style conversation between jwiegley and blais, and the @check comment- command is discussed there. This is an assertion that the balance at a certain point will match a certain value, and I will use this to reconcile my books.
This seems like a really useful function to me, but can someone clarify what is going on here? Is this sort of functionality going to be merged with ledger? How, exactly, does ledger relate to ledger ports? What makes "ledger" ledger? Is it the code, or is it the syntax? Should I write my ledger file using the "official" ledger syntax, or is it safe to use a sub-syntax like beancount's? Thanks, Ian PS - I was recently locked out of Quicken 2006 by a "suicide boolean" that caused OFX downloads to arbitrarily stop working. The OFX data coming from my bank hasn't changed; it's simply that Intuit engineered their software to disable this function after April 30. This irritated me so much that I've decided to move to something better, and I think Ledger is it... however, I'm having trouble deciding which implementation/port is the best match. Any help will be appreciated.
