Just an FYI, if you're using the ledger python interface, balance
objects compare the opposite of the sign.
Given this input:
--
2013-01-01 Items for One
Customer:One:Items $100
Accounts:Checking
2013-01-02 Items for Two
Customer:Two:Items $40
Accounts:Checking
--
and this code:
--
import ledger
journal = ledger.read_journal("py_acc_re_test.lgr")
comms = ledger.commodities
usd = comms.find_or_create('$')
def balance_posts_subaccts(account, start_d=None, end_d=None):
total = ledger.Balance()
for post in account.posts():
if start_d and post.date < start_d:
continue
if end_d and post.date > end_d:
continue
total += post.amount
for subacct in account.accounts():
total += balance_posts_subaccts(subacct, start_d, end_d)
return total
def balance_re_subaccts(top_account, match_account, start_d=None, end_d=None):
total = ledger.Balance()
for subacct in top_account.accounts():
if subacct.name == match_account:
total += balance_posts_subaccts(subacct, start_d, end_d)
else:
total += balance_re_subaccts(subacct,match_account,start_d,end_d)
return total
account = journal.find_account_re("")
bal1 = balance_re_subaccts(account,"One")
bal2 = balance_re_subaccts(account,"Two")
print "bal1 = %s" % bal1.value(usd)
print "bal2 = %s" % bal2.value(usd)
if bal1 > bal2:
print "bal1 is more"
else:
print "bal2 is more"
---
The output is:
--
bal1 = $100
bal2 = $40
bal2 is more
--
I'm assuming there's some reversed comparison operator in there somewhere.
Thanks,
Zack
