I'm not sure what is going on.
I have the following simple code:

from com.infinitekind.moneydance.model import *
root = moneydance.getCurrentAccount()
book = moneydance.getCurrentAccountBook()
txnset = book.getTransactionSet()
taxRelated = filter(lambda x:x.isTaxRelated() and x.getSubAccountCount() == 0, AccountUtil.getAccountIterator(book))
for a in taxRelated:
  b = root.getAccountByName(str(a)) 
  print a,b, a.class.name, b.class.name, a == b
  tA = book.getTransactionSet().getTransactionsForAccount(a)
  tB = book.getTransactionSet().getTransactionsForAccount(b)
  print tA,tB, tA.class.name, tB.class.name, tA == tB

The first test shows that a and b are identical - both of class name "Account" with comparison "True".
However, the second test shows that tA and tB are both of clay name "TxnSet" but the comparison shows that they are not identical even though the arguments in book.getTransactionSet().getTransactionsForAccount() are identical.
What am I missing?

   Purely guessing here ... (not knowing the code) .. I think I can see a case where tA and tB are NOT the same.

   Let's suppose getTransactionsForAccount(a) create a new list because it simply iterates the transactionSet and select only txn with txn.account == a. Something like

     list = new list
     for txn in txns
       if txn.account == a
          list.append(txn)
     return list
   

   then tA and tB will have the same list of txn's but tA != tB

   Thanks. Understand.
