Re: How to split expenses on a regular basis
I do this for shared expenses:
2019-01-01 * "Rent"
Liabilities:Bank:CreditCards -8000.00 CNY
Expenses:Household:Rent8000.00 / 2 CNY
Equity:ARAP:JohnDoe 8000.00 / 2 CNY
With some importer and editor tricks, you can somehow automate this.

Re: How to fix the income statement so that incomes are positive and expenses are negative?
I understand you. The problem here is that Beancount does not use traditional double-entry terms like "credit" and "debit" for different types of accounts. It uses signs. It uses this modified account equation: (Income + Liabilities) + (Assets + Expenses) + Equity = 0 So, in most cases, Income and Liabilities are negative, while Assets and Expenses are positive. I have been using Beancount for more than 3 years, so I am already attuned to its usage of negative and positive signs. But your post reminds me that if a user has used tranditonal double-booking method before, they may feel confused facing the Income Statement in Beancount. Perhaps Fava could provide a fava-option that flips the signs to generate a "traditional" Income Statement and Balance Sheet? -- Zhuoyun Wei On Thu, May 9, 2019, at 02:44, John Mee wrote: > > Perhaps this is an issue of fava, I'm sure you'll redirect me if so... > my problem is that fava's balance sheet shows assets as positive values > and equity as negative (which is also odd, imho both sides should be > positive values?) thence the income Statement shows income as negative > and expenses as positives. > > I started mucking around with code to try and flip all my beancount > text file entries from positives to negatives but, given that is "work, > (eg: got so far as to be searching for routine in beancount.data that > outputs Transaction instance as beancount text?), that now I'm > reconsidering my approach.

Re: bean-bake export from linux to mac or windows
I've never used bean-bake before. I just tried it. Some of the output filenames contain colons, for example "Assets:Cash.html". Some filesystem and/or OS cannot handle colons in paths. Linux allows colons in paths, while Windows does not. For example, if you mount an NTFS filesystem in Linux, and create a file called "foo:bar.txt" in it before mounting this NTFS filesystem in Windows, you cannot open / rename / move /delete the file in Windows. In this case, NTFS allows colons, but Windows does not support it. I don't use macOS, but I guess it's something similar. A quick Google search reveals that the HFS filesystem used by previous versions of macOS does not allow colons in filenames. -- Zhuoyun Wei On Tue, May 7, 2019, at 10:28, richard gott wrote: > Hello > I am the treasurer of a small charity.

Re: Moving assets with cost basis
Thank you Justus! This is exactly what I want. Listing every lot is a bit
verbose, but it's a once-in-a-while thing, so I am okay with it.
One thing surprises me is that the receiving broker (InteractiveBrokers, to be
exact) does not preserve the cost basis. In its PDF statement and the TWS, the
cost basis of the inbound positions is the price when IBKR receives the
positions. It's my first time doing ACATS, so I have no idea if this is a
normal thing.
Anyway, I am satifsfied that Beancount is able to keep the lots info (cost
basis, date) even when the broker is unable to :-)

Re: What is best way to track not only food item, but also how much it costed per pound.
The proper way to do this is to use price notation "@" and "@@". But that may be an overkill since you may have many different items to track. Another method would be to write the information you would like to keep in the metadata. -- Zhuoyun Wei On Tue, Apr 16, 2019, at 05:04, mplo...@gmail.com wrote: > Guys hi, > > Before i was tracking food in 1 single account > > Expenses:Personal:Food > > But than i tried to split them in particular food categories > > Expenses:Personal:Food:Fruit:Apples > Expenses:Personal:Food:Meat:Beef > etc > > And found out that this way i can see much more clear picture and that > i started to care how much i actually paid per pound. > i've found out that often price on same food item can very greatly > (apples can cost 0.99lb, 1.49lb and 1.99lb for same variety even in > same market) > > What's the best way to track it? > > Let's say now i have > > 2019-03-01 * "Key Foods" > Expenses:Personal:Food:Fruit:Apples 4.17 USD > Assets:Cash > > 2019-03-15 * "Key Foods" > Expenses:Personal:Food:Fruit:Apples 6.44 USD > Assets:Cash > > 2019-04-01 * "Key Foods" > Expenses:Personal:Food:Fruit:Apples 8.01 USD > Assets:Cash > > And there is no way to tell which of these transactions were a good buy > (for 0.99lb), and which were a more careless buy (for 1.99lb). > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Beancount" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send > an email to beancount+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to beancount@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/beancount/1f04b82a-f4b1-49c9-a08d-c032aec888ed%40googlegroups.com > > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/beancount/1f04b82a-f4b1-49c9-a08d-c032aec888ed%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email_source=footer>. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

I also considered booking the outstanding checkings in another account, like Liabilities or Equities, but the problem with this is that the balance of your checking account in Beancount is different than the balance in your bank, so that you cannot use "balance" directive to assert the balance. -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Fava does quite a nice job handling this: - if the parent account has no balance, the UI shows a grey number (the sum of all child accounts); - if the parent account has balance, the UI shows a black number (the balance of the parent account); - if you fold the parent account tree, the UI always shows a grey number (the sum of all child accounts). -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Re: LWN reviews beancount
One thing that surprises me (I noticed this just now, when writing the last
reply) is that Beancount "balance" directive computes the balance of the parant
account along with all child accounts.
Say you have 1000.00 USD in the checking account, and you write a check of
100.00 USD to your friend. Now you have 900.00 USD in the parent account alone
and 100.00 USD in the child / leaf ":Payable" account. And the assertion:
20XX-XX-XX balance Assets:Bank:Checking 1000.00 USD
passes. This very behavior makes it easy for you to compare the balance in
Beancount with the balance in your bank. At the same time, you could know how
many money you could spend (without overdraft) by manually subtract the amount
in ":Payable" from the parent tree.

Re: LWN reviews beancount
In the case of writing checks, my approach is to use two transactions:
2019-01-01 * "John Doe" "Settle up Splitwise" #check ^check123
Assets:Chase:Checking -100.00 USD
Assets:Chase:Checking:Payable
2019-02-01 * "CHECK 123" ^check123
document: "2019-02-01.check-123.pdf"
Assets:Chase:Checking:Payable -100.00 USD
Equity:ARAP:JohnDoe
The first trasnaction is entered manually by me, on the day of writing the
check, in a separate file ("checks.bean"). The second transaction is imported
by "bean-extract" from the CSV my bank provides, at the end of each month
(along with the image of the check).
Sometimes it takes quite a while for your checks to clear, so using two
transactions is essential. This way, you can easily determine how many checks
and money are not cleared by examing the transactions in the ":Payable"
account, and also avoid blank checks / NSF by examing the balance of the parant
account (excluding the leaf account). The bonus touch is, the two transactions
are linked ("^check123"), so in Fava you could click the link to show
corresponding trasactions, no matter how many days they are apart.
I remember someone in the mailing list wrote a plugin called ZeroSumAccounts,
which did similar things.

Re: Matching account by filename
Thanks. My current workflow is to use "bean-extract" to extract transactions from multiple CSV files downloaded from different institutions.

Matching account by filename
Hi, the CSV importer determines the account to use by "regexps" parameter. I have two accounts from the same bank (one checking and one savings), and the CSV files of both are of the same format. There isn't anything in the file content that could tell the two accounts apart. The only difference is the file name (e.g. "Chase.csv" for checking, "Chase.csv" for savings). Under this circumstance, "regexps" parameter does not work. How could I import different files into different accounts? -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Intra-day transactions are sorted reverse-chronologically (newer to older) in the CSV file exported from my bank. My importer parses the entries in reversed order, returning a correctly ordered list of transactions (older to newer). However, Beancount will again sort the list returned by importer, shuffling the intra-day transactions: https://github.com/beancount/beancount/blob/fb2d29eed89a8e15f1635847beba0e5598c0ea06/beancount/ingest/extract.py#L73-L74 I had once submitted a pull request to disable this behaviour, it was merged but later reverted by Martin. So I came up with a workaround: ``` # Re-generate "lineno" to force sorting for lineno, entry in enumerate(entries, start=1): entry.meta['lineno'] = lineno ``` Just generate artificial "lineno" keys and insert them into the transactions before returning them to Beancount. This way I can preserve the order. A possible approach to make both parties happy would be to add a new parameter to "extract_from_file()" function, allowing importers to disable the sorting behaviour in post-processings. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Beancount" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to > beancount+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to beancount@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/beancount/ > CAGQ70esZ%2BSFkn4VcaG1dh%2BP1i%3DNgQ9rHvSdx-_8eVKvJ1%3DcRMg%40mail.gmail.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Re: How showing fava statements decimal?
I believe this may have something to do with the precision of inferred numbers. Try padding every number in your file to 2 decimal digits: 95 CNY -> 95.00 CNY 0.2 CNY -> 0.20 CNY ... and see if that solves your issue. 2018-05-18 00:35:39 pannaimage...@gmail.com <pannaimage...@gmail.com>: > I'm writen in .beancount file transactions with decimal.but assets of balance > sheet showing integer look: > > [ScreenClip] > > [ScreenClip] > > -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Oh, okay. This is surprising indeed. I thought Beancount is very strict
on internal calculation so the rounding only occurs when the result is
for human eyes (e.g. PRINT). I never though Beancount does implicit
rounding for non-human-readable things...
Is there a reason for such a design? The product of two
two-decimal-digit numbers is only a four-decimal-digit number. It is
even not bad for human eyes IMHO.

Implicit rounding of inferred numbers
Hi Martin,
Beancount seems to round inferred numbers by default:
1970-01-01 open Assets:Cash
1970-01-01 open Assets:Positions
1970-01-01 open Expenses:Financial:Commissions
2018-03-29 * "Buy 10 BILI"
Assets:Cash
Assets:Positions 10 BILI {11.4899 USD, 2018-03-29} @ 11.4899
USD
Expenses:Financial:Commissions 0.1 USD
turns into:
2018-03-29 * "Buy 10 BILI"
Assets:Cash -115.0 USD
Assets:Positions10 BILI {11.4899 USD, 2018-03-29} @
11.4899 USD
Expenses:Financial:Commissions 0.1 USD
The full-precision number for Assets:Cash should be -114.9990 USD, but
it was incorrectly rounded to -115.0 USD.
In the documentation
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lgHxUUEY-UVEgoF6cupz2f_7v7vEF7fiJyiSlYYlhOo/
section "Precision of Inferred Numbers":
> If the default tolerance is not overridden in the input file—and
> therefore is zero—the full precision will be used; no rounding occurs.
In the minimal example above, the precision seems to be inferred from
0.1 USD commission. If I change the input file, changing commission from
0.1 USD to 0.1000 USD, the output is correct:
2018-03-29 * "Buy 10 BILI"
Assets:Cash -114.9990 USD
Assets:Positions 10 BILI {11.4899 USD, 2018-03-29} @
11.4899 USD
Expenses:Financial:Commissions 0.1000 USD
My broker-dealer returns the commission as 0.1 USD because it is a
floating point number in JSON (you cannot end numbers with zeros). But
behind the scenes it calculates the cash balance with the full-precision
numbers (e.g. 0.1000 USD). After a few transactions, the balance of
Assets:Cash has a difference of more than 0.005 USD with the
broker-dealer and thus fails the balance assertion.
Is there a way to turn off the implicit rounding without padding 0.1 USD
to 0.1000 USD in the input file?
I am using tagged release 2.0.0.

I am not trying to start a flame war, but I would like to point out that choosing a popular tool/platform attracts more developers. A friend of mine lives in Canada and often jokes about the mandatory French usage in Canada when chatting with me. Say, if the lead developer of an OSS is from Québec and believes that French is better than English when coding, writing commit messages and discussing in mailing list -- this project may not get as much contributors as another project which chooses English as the main language. I am not judging which language (English vs. French) is better, nor am I going to say Git is better than Mercurial. I just would like to point out: **if** we move the project to a popular tool/platform, the project may attract more contributors. Even if the tool/platform may be obsolete like VHS in the future, it is popular right now, isn't it?

We have so many changes since RC1, we should stamp another "release candidate" before 2.0. If Martin is okay with moving the repository to GitHub, as Dominik and many others suggest, we could release RC2 directly to GitHub.

Issue #223: Cost of the same currency (blais/beancount)
New issue 223: Cost of the same currency
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/223/cost-of-the-same-currency
Zhuoyun Wei:
Hi,
I am not sure if this is a bug or this is by design.
I try to use a special approach to record my gift card transactions. Here is a
minimal bean file:
```
1970-01-01 open Assets:Cash
1970-01-01 open Assets:GiftCards
1970-01-01 open Income:SomeIncome
1970-01-01 open Expenses:Music
1970-01-01 open Expenses:Apps
2018-01-01 * "Some income"
Income:SomeIncome -1000.00 USD
Assets:Cash +1000.00 USD
2018-02-01 * "Buy 100 USD gift card with 50% discount"
Assets:Cash -50.00 USD
Assets:GiftCards +100.00 USD { 0.50 USD }
2018-02-02 * "Buy some music with gift cards"
Assets:GiftCards-10.00 USD { 0.50 USD }
Expenses:Music +5.00 USD
```
The idea is, I am tagging lots in "Assets:GiftCards" with a cost, but the cost
is of the same currency. I put 100 USD (which I "bought" with 50 USD) into
GiftCards, then buy music with 10 USD (which I "bought" with 5 USD) in the gift
card.
The balance looks good (but the cost tag is already missing)
```
# bean-report
Assets:Cash 950.00 USD
Assets:GiftCards 90.00 USD
Equity
Expenses:Apps
Expenses:Music 5.00 USD
Income:SomeIncome -1000.00 USD
Liabilities
```
However, if I forget to attach a cost, things went wrong:
```
2018-02-02 * "Buy some apps with gift cards"
Assets:GiftCards-20.00 USD
Expenses:Apps
# bean-report
Assets:Cash 950.00 USD
Assets:GiftCards 70.00 USD
Equity
Expenses:Apps 20.00 USD
Expenses:Music 5.00 USD
Income:SomeIncome -1000.00 USD
Liabilities
```
At this time the "Assets:GiftCards" account should be a mixed inventory, with
two lots: 90 "discounted USD" and -20 "normal USD". But no, Beancount does not
distinguish a "discounted USD" (i.e. USD with a cost) and a "normal USD",
instead if merges the two lots together into a 70 USD lot.
This is quite an edge case. I remember someone in the mailing list recommended
creating a new commodity GUSD (gift card USD) for gift card balances. But if I
have gift cards of different currencies, creating gift card counterpart for
each one of them seems cumbersome.
So may I ask if distinguishing between "currency with cost of the same currency
(e.g. 100 USD { 0.50 USD })" and "normal currency (e.g. 100 USD)" is trivial to
implement? If the "feature" is implemented, there would be no need to create
imaginary currencies like "GUSD" any more.

I would like to share a successful example as a potential approach of "native" Windows release of Beancount: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/440 BorgBackup is an excellent backup tool (try it out!) written in Python and Cython. So compiling it in Windows is a headache, just like Beancount. A contributor finally created an all-in-one Windows binary installer for BorgBackup. The installation is self-contained and bundles Cygwin, Python 3, and all the Python dependencies. It took ~100 MiB disk space but it saves you from "polluting" your Windows with tons of development tools. I have been using the Windows BorgBackup release on my gaming PC for a few months and it works well. You may consider creating a similar Beancount Windows release as well. -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Re: How to have custom plugin picked up automatically.
2018-01-06 03:38:19 Martin Blais <bl...@furius.ca>: > You need to adjust your PYTHONPATH, or put the code somewhere on the > PYTHONPATH. > You could improve on what you're doing by appending the absolute path to the > current PYTHONPATH value. I see the problem with PYTHONPATH has been brought up a few times by new users of Beancount. I have two possible suggestions: 1. There could be an option for defining search paths, in which custom plugins and importers are searched for. 2. The directory where root beancount file resides could be searched implicitly. The idea is inspired by Ansible. By default, Ansible searches the current directory for an ansible.cfg file, in which search paths for hosts and roles could be defined. This way, the entire Ansible repo is self-contained. You could clone it on any machine (with Ansible installed, of course) and run the playbooks right away, without setting up additional config files or environment variables. Currently I use a few custom importers. I use a little trick in the importer config file (which is a Python file) to make Beancount search the same directory of the config file for importers: here = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) sys.path.insert(0, here) By doing this, I do not have to modify PYTHONPATH every time I run bean-identify / bean-extract / bean-file. But for bean-report, bean-check, and fava, I do not have a chance to inject additional search paths for custom plugins without modifying PYTHONPATH. -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Compute unrealized PnL day-by-day
Hi, I've been using Beancount to track trading activities. With "beancount.plugins.unrealized" plugin enabled, I can see a few special transactions inserted for unrealized PnL. The special transactions are always inserted as the last transactions in the journal. I am wondering if there is a BQL or something to compute the unrealized PnL day-by-day. Id est, if I close the position on Nov 25, the PnL is X USD; if I close the position on Nov 26, the PnL is Y USD. I have tried: select date, account, position, balance from close on 2017-XX-XX clear where account ~ 'Unrealized'; but it does not work as expected. Is that because the plugin runs before the "CLOSE" syntax takes effect? Currently the only way I can think of, is to comment out / remove latest "price" entries from price database to force Beancount to compute unrealized PnL for a different date. -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

I had a few similar use cases with Holger -- renaming a account while
preserving the indentation and whitespace, reformat the payee +
narration field, etc.
I found the fileinput module from Python stdlib extremely useful in
these cases:
with fileinput.input('ledger.bean', inplace=True) as f:
for line in f:
new_line = process_line(line)
print(new_line, end='')
With inplace=True parameter, it's like `sed -i`, but with all the
powerful batteries of Python.

To be exact, "*" is only a syntax meaning "select some lots from my
inventory and I don't care which lots". It's the same as an empty
bracket (-10 USD {} @ 2 CHF).
The booking method in use is determined by a global- or per-account
option. You could either:
1) Define a global option:
option booking_method "FIFO"
2) Define a per-account option:
open Assets:USD USD "FIFO"

As Jason says, there's no need to record cost for currencies if you are
just "spending" them. In your case, you are "trading" USD for profits.
USD, in your case, if more of a stock held at cost to you.

Last time I checked, AVERAGE booking method is not implemented. Only
STRICT (default), FIFO, LIFO and NONE are available for now.

Re: Realized and unrealized currency gain
Hi Patrick,
in order to compute PnL, you need to provide cost instead of price:
2017-06-01 * "Buy USD"
Assets:CHF -30 CHF
Assets:USD 20 USD { 1.5 CHF }
2017-07-01 price USD 1.7 CHF
2017-08-01 * "Sell USD"
Assets:USD -20 USD { 1.5 CHF } @ 2 CHF
Assets:CHF 40 CHF
Income:PnL
This way you could see a realized PnL of (2 CHF - 1.5 CHF) * 10 = 5 CHF
in the account Income:PnL.
To compute unrealized PnL, you could enable a built-in plugin:
plugin "beancount.plugins.unrealized" "Unrealized"
This way you could see an unrealized PnL in Assets:CHF:Unrealized.

Issue #192: Make it possible to use single letter as commodity name (blais/beancount)
New issue 192: Make it possible to use single letter as commodity name
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/192/make-it-possible-to-use-single-letter-as
Zhuoyun Wei:
Hi Martin,
this is a similar issue to #138. I recently found out that Beancount currently
does not allow single-letter commodity name. A minimal reproducible example:
```
1970-01-01 commodity USD
1970-01-01 commodity V
2017-09-01 open Assets:SingleLetter:X
2017-09-01 open Assets:Trade:Cash USD
2017-09-01 open Assets:Trade:Positions "FIFO"
2017-09-13 * "Buy 10 shares of Visa"
Assets:Trade:Cash -1000.00 USD
Assets:Trade:Positions +10.00 V { 100.00 USD }
```
A bean-check shows:
```
single-letter.beancount:2: Invalid token: 'V'
single-letter.beancount:10: Invalid token: 'V'
```
It seems that single-letter account names do not trigger errors any more (line
4) since #138 is resolved, but single-letter commodity names are still not
allowed (line 2 and line 10).
Could you please make single-letter commodity possible? I would like to make
pull request but I do not know how to write C code...

Issue #190: Use of implicit_prices and operating_currency together leads to incorrect calculations of net worth (blais/beancount)
New issue 190: Use of implicit_prices and operating_currency together leads to incorrect calculations of net worth https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/190/use-of-implicit_prices-and Zhuoyun Wei: Hi, if you have the following conditions to be true, the calculated net worth is wrong: - Two operating currencies are defined; - At least one transaction involves the two currencies with `@@`; - The implicit_prices plugin is enabled. Here is a minimal example: ``` plugin "beancount.plugins.implicit_prices" option "operating_currency" "CNY" option "operating_currency" "USD" 1970-01-01 open Liabilities:CC 1970-01-01 open Expenses:Food 2017-09-01 * "" Liabilities:CC -660.00 CNY Expenses:Food +100.00 USD @@ 660.00 CNY ``` Running bean-report: ``` Currency Net Worth - CNY -660.00 USD -100.00 - ``` Either: - disabling one of the operating currencies or - disabling implicit_prices plugin restores the correct calculation of net worth: ``` Currency Net Worth - CNY -660.00 - ``` I rooted the cause of this behavior in a very confusing situation. I was looking at the net worth graph in Fava and found something very strange: - My ledger spans from 2013 to 2017. - The ledger consists of only CNY transactions from 2013 to 2015. The net worth graph from 2013 to 2015 consists of a rising line of CNY and a flat line of USD which is always 0. - In year 2015 I got my first international credit card and there were USD @@ CNY transactions from then on. - On the day the first USD @@ CNY transaction occurs, the USD value in Fava net worth graph spikes from zero to a non-zero value, which roughly equals to all my CNY assets converted to USD. - The USD line in the graph keeps a similar shape with CNY line from 2015 to 2017. Attachment: the USD net worth spikes from zero to non-zero starting from the day the first USD @@ CNY transaction occurs, and keeps a similar shape with CNY value from then on.

I am not sure if this helps Google and other search engines to better index the page, but it does at lease provide a more light-weight web page, without those menu bars, edit controls, and avatars on the top-right corner showing who are viewing the same page with you. [1] One could just change "/edit" to "/pub" in the URL to get a "published" version of the Docs, so it's easy to update existing links in the source code. The owner of the Docs have to enable the feature first. -- Zhuoyun Wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.

Re: Documentation is now read-only
Glad to hear Beancount moves on from Google Docs. No offense. But I was very confused when I first met Beancount. Google Docs is a very good collaborating platform but a poor choice for software documentation. I remember when I needed to look up for some syntax or usage I cannot search thru the documention because "site:docs.google.com beancount" does not return any useful results [1] -- it's very ironic that a search engine does not index its sibling website well. The Docs page itself is slow to load compared to simple HTML (without a ton of AJAX) or plain text documentation that were popular among open source projects. Cheers!

Issue #172: How to override "HEADER" in bean-extract? (blais/beancount)
New issue 172: How to override "HEADER" in bean-extract? https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/172/how-to-override-header-in-bean-extract Zhuoyun Wei: Hi, in `extract.py` I could see this comment: ``` # The format for the header in the extracted output. # You may override this value from your .import script. HEADER = ';; -*- mode: beancount -*-\n' ``` However, defining `HEADER` in .import script does not seem to work. It seems that `output.write(HEADER)` in `extract.py` writes the hard-coded header directly to the output. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
