Python is complaining that it can't find the read_file function in the gnucash module. But the gnucash module from that repository does contain such a function. So either you're importing a *different* module named "gnucash", or something very weird is happening in the gnucash2ledger module that messes up the attributes of its own gnucash module. I suspect the former. Try this: 1) Run a Python interpreter from a directory *outside* the repository you referenced (so that the pygnucash code is not on Python's search path). 2) Type 'import gnucash' at the prompt. You should see an ImportError. 3) If you do *not* see an ImportError, your Python is importing some other module named 'gnucash' (perhaps this comes with GnuCash itself?). Try typing: gnucash.__file__ gnucash.__path__ at the Python prompt. This will tell you where the conflicting gnucash module is located. 4) If you *do* see an ImportError, quit Python, and try these steps again, but this time run Python from *inside* the pygnucash repository. This time, you should *not* see an ImportError. In that case, make sure that gnucash.__file__ and gnucash.__path__ are what you'd expect, and then try hasattr(gnucash, 'read_file') This should return True. Let us know what you see!
