Hi,

I've implemented an example generator script for Beancount:
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/tip/src/python/beancount/scripts/example.py

This script can be used to generate several years of a realistic person's
financial transaction history. The characteristics of the ledger produced
by the script is described in the new basic tutorial I just wrote:
http://furius.ca/beancount/doc/tutorial

A run of the example generator outputs something like this:
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/tip/examples/tutorial/example.beancount

I'll be using this script...

- In examples, to make illustrative queries on a realistic anonymous input
file, to explain things;

- As the example file for Beancount's tutorial commands;

- As a basis for a converter to Ledger syntax, so that we can compare
report outputs. You can convert Beancount input to Ledger input with
"bean-query filename.beancount ledger > filename.lgr";

- For stress testing (eventually).

If anyone finds this useful, let me know.
Cheers,
