[resend to list where it did not arrive for some reason or another] Hi Mark,
thank you for your reply. I tried things out and had some successes but mostly failed.

Somebody like me that does not understand the slightest thing about it is probably not much help but I started http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Python_Bindings where I will write about what I have it learned from this thread and while fiddling around. What I am trying to do is open a gnucash file, find the account identified by code 1234 and mark it as tax relevant. Would you be so kind to help me with that? The steps outlined in http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Python_Bindings#setting_things_up produce an error initially, importing __init__ a second time runs fine. Is that a bug? I am still very inexperienced with this. All I can say is that setting the PYTHONPATH and then running your example scripts with "python $script" on hardy produces a very similarly looking error about "could not locate gnucash/engine interface v.0". When using ipython to go through the steps lined out in simple_book.py I get a bunch of (process:11900): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_lookup: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed That sort of looks like something did not go so well, either. But I am just poking around really and doing everything wrong, probably.
