Hi,

I'm attempting to learn 'py' and 'moneybot' (Moneydance 2019.1 1855) in the hopes to one day automate some processes... i have 'some' experience in programming, but i'm lost trying to figure out the 'apidoc'.

My initial excersise is to list all the accounts in my CurrentAccountBook. I am able to run the 'python_template.py' with no problem. i've been able to modify it to list ALL trxns. i even understand how the classes, methods, etc. work and where to find them in the 'apidoc'.

It's a different story when it comes to Accounts... i get only errors when i try to use 'AccountUtil' or 'AccountIterator' classes.

i'm only trying to list all accounts with various accounts info (fullname, current balance, type, etc.) from my CurrentAccountBook...

I would be happy to send you my embarassingly feable attempts to code this probably very simple task, but there have been so many attempts and i now don't know which attempt seems most logical...

Sorry to waste your time on this. BTW, i have purchsed Moneydance 2019 to get away from Quicken-slave and i love it.

Hopefully, you will allow me to submit questions to guide me through the learning stages of py extentions.

Thanks & Best Regards,
jac

   You need an extra import line
   

   from com.infinitekind.moneydance.model import AccountUtil
   

   Given,
   

   from com.infinitekind.moneydance.model import AccountUtil
   book = moneydance.getCurrentAccountBook()
   for acct in AccountUtil.getAccountIterator(book):
     print acct
   

   should print out something like this
   

   Test
   Checking
   Bank Fee
   Bills
   Bills:Cable
   Bills:Electric
   Bills:Garbage
   Bills:Gas
   Bills:Phone
   Bills:Rent
   Bills:Water/Sewer
   Miscellaneous
   Personal
   Personal:Books/Magazines
   Personal:Computer
   Personal:Dining
   Personal:Entertainment
   Personal:Gifts
   Personal:Groceries
   Personal:Miscellaneous
   Income
   Salary
   Salary:Bonus
   Salary:Commission
   Salary:Paycheck
