Getting Foreign Currency amounts from transactions
If I understand it correctly you can only enter a foreign currency value into a transaction if the category of the transaction has been declared with that Foreign Currency. That means the parent Txn's value is returned by the getValue() method of AbstractTxn. I am assuming that getValue() on the split will return the Foreign Currency amount. Is there a call to get the Rate used? Or do I have to calculate it?

From memory, on investments, I had to use:
from the record, get the account, get the currency
1.0 / curr.getRelativeRate() gives the same as the currency screen
y * curr .getRate(None) to get current price. I assume the same for currency rather than stocks (the API doesn't say you can use None)....
