Thanks a lot for the tips. I'm in touch with Sebastien in order to
polish the ledger export script. It is available either directly
(pc-export has been renamed to export.py) or through piecash cli
("piecash ledger" is the command if I remember well).
Hopefully over the weekend I'll have some more time to play around with
the whole process:
gnucash -> sqlite db -> piecash export -> ledger data -> ledger or
beancount -> fava or custom web interface
beancount has a sort of sql of its own. I'll say no more since I
suggested the idea *after* my sql balance sheet, etc appeared here and ...
in general many people are more casual about how exactly you store your
plain text accounting data and consider an almost readable format (XML)
or open db (all available gnc backends) as good as.
I did not notice if asset allocation is available through Fava. Either
way, I need to investigate that into more detail and see if I can get
something similar to the view I already created in Gnucash Portfolio.
I'm hoping it would be easier to contribute to an existing project than
write and maintain the whole thing from scratch.
I'll be interested to see how you get on. I'm not sure how far you want
to go with the portfolio ideas.
There is also another Python export script at
https://github.com/MatzeB/pygnucash. I hope to combine the wisdom from
both of these.
I had to re-write a bit of that IIRC so you are probably better working
with Sebastien.
Is anyone aware of how close Beancount is to Ledger in terms of
functionality?
they are diverging rather than converging, beancount is more actively
developed in functionality terms. perhaps more to the point, beancount
is (almost) all python so appears to fit with
http://portfolio.alensiljak.tk/ better in a family sense.
the reason I chose ledger is that it is less strict than beancount and
suits my approach of blackboxing p2p transactions, doing asset
allocation a few times a year, etc. I am not keeping anything in
ledger, I write a new file every time and just use ledger as a reporting
/ analysis tool.
Also, apologies if this is spamming the devel list. Let me know if
discussing related projects is/not ok for this list.
I think we are almost done, I can't see the portfolio issue producing
many more postings.
for lists / newsgroups both of these are active
gmane.comp.finance.ledger.general
gmane.comp.finance.beancount
including contributions from devs, very frequent in the case of beancount
