I made a change a little while ago that allows you to turn your import file into a script:
from beancount.ingest.scripts_utils import ingest ... CONFIG = [ .. list of importer instances .. ] ... ingest(CONFIG) This makes your .import file into a script, you can run it with a "identify", "extract" or "file" subcommand. (You can still use the bean-identify, bean-extract, bean-file programs with it as before.) But why am I mentioning this? Well, because the purpose of doing that was to allow you to insert code before and/or after running the ingestion processes, and also to pass in arguments to the ingestion tools to customize it, see here: https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/353d874f678149eb4af951d1e57b92041f7bbc7b/beancount/ingest/scripts_utils.py#lines-29 What you're looking for here is the "detect_duplicates_func". You should be able to insert ingest(CONFIG, my_duplicates_func) at the bottom of your .import file and it should be invoked. If for whatever reason it doesn't fulfill your customization need, please let me know.
