Hi Jonas, This is another recent addition, so again you'll need at least Gnucash 2.5.1. This introduces a GUIDString class which will convert a GUID to a string as follows:
guid_sting = 'a3817efd668585e2f4431e2996683fd1' account_guid = gnucash.gnucash_core.GUID() gnucash.gnucash_core.GUIDString(guid_string, account_guid) You can see an example of this code in the getAccount method at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/trunk/src/optional/python-bindings/example_scripts/rest-api/gnucash_rest.py As an aside, I'm not entirely happy about the GUIDString class, as this should really be implemented as a method of the GUID class rather than it's own class. Any suggestions from an experinced Pythoner would be much appreciated - the relevent class is defined in https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/trunk/src/optional/python-bindings/gnucash_core.py Kind regards, Tom -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-devel-bounces+dev=loftx.co...@gnucash.org [mailto:gnucash-devel-bounces+dev=loftx.co...@gnucash.org] On Behalf Of Jonas Lippuner Sent: 05 June 2013 08:42 To: gnucash-devel@gnucash.org Subject: Creating GUID -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, If I know the string of a GUID, how do I create the corresponding GUID object in the Python bindings for Gnucash? The only thing I got to run is guid = GUID() string_to_guid("a3817efd668585e2f4431e2996683fd1", guid.__weakref__) But this does not work since the variable guid gets a value when it is created and string_to_guid does not change that value, i.e. I just get a new guid with a random value... Also, I noticed that it is possible to create multiple customers with the same Customer ID. Is this intentional? Thanks for the help, Jonas - -- My email is signed and I encrypt email on request.
