My use case is accessing owner name and address from a transaction. The transaction is found by guid.
Exposing guid_from_string() was pretty straightforward as was GetLot() and GetFirstAPARAcctSplit(). I also need GetOwnerFromTxn or GetOwnerFromLot. However, this and many similar functions return the result through an argument and indicate success or failure by returning a boolean. It's not clear whether there is an general way with swig to deal with this other than adding a wrapper to return the result and indicate failure by returning NULL. Any recommendations? I also noticed that there is a problem with gnc- session.c:gnc_get_current_session() using the bindings. In the executable, gnc_set_current_session() is called in gnc_file.c after each qof_session_new(). But with the Python bindings, the swig- generated code calls qof_session_new(). So, current_session isn't initialized and the first call subtly creates a new session. I added a gnc_set_current_session() call to qof_session_new() and that fixed things for me . I don't think that's the best solution.
