The funny thing is that the error message actually disappeared (from reds_importers modules) after I made the change (and re-emerged in smart_importer modules). I thought: if instead of a date, I input a datetime in the beancount file, python won't complain anymore, since it will be comparing datetime to datetime now. I am by no means a developer or hacker and that was just a guess.
Yes, it’s actually a common pattern for the wrong fix to seemingly make an error message disappear, but in reality, the true issue gets suppressed, only to manifest elsewhere. I'll try to update to the unreleased version, as you suggest below and see if the issue gets solved. Do you mean the latest unreleased version of beancount (v.2) or beancount_reds_importers? Could you point me to how to install an unreleased version? Is it the pip install +git... method? beancount_reds_importers.
