Hello, after looking at the package definition, I did see the wrapping code. So the required module should be available. I don’t know why gnucash doesn’t find it. I tried launching the program from the CLI to see more of what’s going on, but it doesn’t print anything when trying to add a new security. Best regards, Altadil
