Hello all, I spent almost half of the day yesterday but could not get it to work. I wanted to convert my year old gnucash files to ledger and this is what happened so far.
Firs I tried ledger 2.x approach since 3.x can not do the conversion. I had not much of a problem installing 2.x but after I issued the command " ledger -f myfile.gnucash print > myfile.txt" it spitted out 27 lines of error with something " invalid date string". I had a cursory look at my account entries but did not find anything wrong. Any suggestions on how to fix that? Anyway after failing in the first approach, I tried another. I compiled latest gnucash (2.6.16) from source with dbi conversion enabled. From gnucash I could save as sqlite3 but the files were saved as "myfile.gnucash" not "myfile.sqlite3". But I don't know whether it will have sqlite3 extension in the first place when saved. Anyway, I went ahead and ran the python script "gnucash2ledger.py" downloaded from "https://github.com/MatzeB/pygnucash"; in the following manner: python2.7 gnucash2ledger.py myfile.gnucash print > test.txt The error came through is as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "gnucash2ledger.py", line 35, in <module> data = gnucash.read_file(sys.argv[1]) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'read_file' I noticed in the script page that it says that it requires python 2.7 with sqlite3 module enabled. After some search I did the following to enable sqlite3: sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev sudo pip install pysqlite But no luck so far. Therefore, any help with the first approach (ledger 2.x doing the converstion) or the 2nd approach (python conversion) will be highly appreciated.
