Hi
Just getting started with MoneyDance and really like what I have seen so far. I was trying to put together my first Python script for it but I am finding the data model hard to get my head around, for instance Txn and how it relates to Categories, Account, Payee etc.
I cant find any documentation for an overview of the relationships other than the basic class documentation.
Thanks
Neil

   So far I have the following to flatten Account and Transactions. I realise that I will need to enhance this to include splits.

   print "Account AccountType CategoryCount Payee Category Date Amount"

     for txn in txnSet.iterableTxns():
       if str(txn.getAccount()) == "Nationwide Flex" and counter < 100:
         print "%s %s %d %s %s %u %s"%\
             (txn.getAccount().getAccountName(), txn.getAccount().getAccountType(), txn.getOtherTxnCount(), txn.getDescription(), txn.getOtherTxn(0).getAccount(), txn.getDateInt(), txn.getAccount().getCurrencyType().formatFancy(txn.getValue(), '.'))
         counter += 1

   Have a look at
   https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2015/wiki/Home

   It will give you some pointers. It is written with Java in mind but it will help with the data model.
