Once you've successfully build ledger with the USE_PYTHON setting enabled,
that's as enabled as the Python bindings get. The bindings are built into
the ledger executable itself; there is nothing else to install other than
ledger.
You access the Python bindings by executing ledger with the python
sub-command, i.e.
ledger python
You will then be placed in a Python environment that has access to the
Ledger Python bindings. If you have a Python program that needs to access
the Ledger bindings, run it like:
ledger python my_program.py
It is not currently possible to import ledger in a standalone Python
program or module without running the ledger python command first.
In the example Python code found at
http://www.ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Extending-with-Python, note
that the calls to xacts and posts should be followed by parentheses, i.e.
the example should actually read:
import ledger
for xact in ledger.read_journal("sample.dat").xacts():
for post in xact.posts():
print "Transferring %s to/from %s" % (post.amount, post.account)
I hope this is enough to get you started.
