Hey, after switching to gnucash 2.6 I noticed that at least some of the Python methods are broken [1]. A call to Account.getName() raises a TypeError but unfortunately the error message is not helpful to me (as I never used swig before): TypeError: in method 'xaccAccountGetName', argument 1 of type 'Account const *'
I tried to pin down the issue via bisecting but the problem was that many older version don't build for me because of broken svn references. Probably the error was introduced very early after 2.4, I noticed the same behavior in 2.5.3 (the first 2.5 version I was able to build without hassle). I noticed that most core developers don't use the Python bindings themself so I'm looking for pointers where I should start looking to fix the error. - How would you tackle the problem? More bisecting efforts? Runtime debugging? - Should I try to get acquainted with swig? - Is it possible the my issue is just Fedora-related (e.g. due to some bad library version)? - Any hints what could have caused the issue (e.g. bigger swig related changes, core refactorings)?
