Yes, it’s a bank account. The debit card is just a way of accessing it. No, it’s not new: I got my first ATM card in 1976 when Visa was still a division of the Bank of America called “Bankamericard". It’s also not a separate account type, it’s just a plain old checking account--even though you may never write a paper check on it. The $50 credit limit is just “overdraft protection” under a different name. The python bindings are not enabled in the Windows or Mac all-in-one packages that we distribute because they must be linked with the same python library that the python interpreter running the program is so we’d have to include a complete python distribution in the package. They’re already too fat thanks to WebKit. In any case, you can’t add account types from the bindings, they’re hard-coded in libgnucash/engine/Account.cpp. Regards, John Ralls _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
