Hi,

In my understanding, "package-plugins" are meant to extend functionality
of "package"; where "package" can already be mostly usefull without the plugins.

e.g.: "konqueror" suggests "konq-plugins" .

In this case, ofxstatement is of absolutely no use by itself.

Whoever made the pip3 package likely did understood that
and also included ofxstatement-lithuanian & ofxstatement-czech
in this archive.

So I'd just roll everything, core + plugins, in one single package.

Team-maintained is a good idea.

This is not python specific at all, it's just about trying to make packages
where the metadata doesn't outweight the actual contents;
& avoiding to put too much strain on ftp-masters, mirrors et all without any 
gain.

Not in ofxstatement, but in ofxstatement-plugin-name or ofxstatement-plugins.

First of all I'l like to see in archive plugins I wrote and use myself
=) But of course it would be good if there will be all of them.

I was thinking about this. And would like to talk with guys from Python
apps packaging team.

Create separate package for every plugin looks like an overkill, may be
it would be better to merge them in one package. But since I'll put
them under team maintenance (I believe it's the right move), it would be
better to follow best practices.

Hi,

Do you also plan to ship all the 19 known plugins in the same package ?
https://github.com/kedder/ofxstatement#known-plugins

I'd personally use this one, but ITP'ing an extra package for only 70 lines
of code doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

Greets,

* Package name: ofxstatement
  Version : 0.5.0

  Description : Tool to convert proprietary bank statement to OFX format, 
suitable for importing to GnuCash.

Most internet banking systems are capable of exporting account transactions to
some sort of computer readable formats, but few supports standard data formats,
like OFX. On the other hand, personal accounting tools, such as GnuCash support
standard formats only, and will probably never support proprietary statement
formats of online banking systems.

To bridge the gap between them, ofxstatement tool was created.
