Confirming a transaction from Python?

I'm writing a script to process transactions using a Python script. Is there a way to get the Confirmed/Unconfirmed state of a transaction? I'd like the script to not process transactions that are already confirmed. Also is there a way to set a transaction as Confirmed? I'm trying to avoid doing that manually after.

I tried looking at getStatus(), but that seems to always return 40 and I can't seem to find what the status actually means in the Java developer documentation

   OK.So I think I found part of the answer. txn.isNew() seems yield confirmed/unconfirmed status from what I can tell.
   There doesn't seem to be a way to change isNew to False??
   (Still not clear what getStatus() is for?)

   Hi J,

   Great questions! You're right about the meaning of isNew() and you can also use setIsNew(false) to mark a transaction as confirmed.

   As for getStatus(), that has a bit of documentation here: https://infinitekind.com/dev/apidoc/com/infinitekind/moneydance/mod... but the short answer is that it is the old version of getClearedStatus() and should really be marked as deprecated.

   Thanks,

   Thanks for the response. So I tried txn.setIsNew(False) and that works well. Is there a reason that setIsNew isn't documented?

   Had another question...what do I feed into setClearedStatus()? I see it wants AbstractTxn.ClearedStatus, but I'm not sure how to create something in Python set this value. I'd like to be able to set the CLEARED, RECONCILING, UNRECONCILED state from Python as well.

   Any thoughts on:
