Hello Gnucash developers,
I was attempting to use the Gnucash Python bindings to apply payments to
a list of invoices using Customer.ApplyPayment (which maps to
gncOwnerApplyPaymentSecs on the C side), but it gives an error "TypeError: in
method 'gncOwnerApplyPaymentSecs', argument 3 of type 'GList *'" when I attempt
to pass a Python list of lots as the second argument "lots" (third argument on
the C side).
Looking at how the SWIG bindings were written, I think the issue may be
that there is not a type translator that turns Python lists into GList.
base-typemaps.i has a SWIG type translator on line 269 that converts Python
lists into GSList objects, but as far as I can tell there isn't one that
converts Python lists into GList objects.
Am I correct that this is an issue, or am I missing how the bindings are
intended to be used? If it's an issue, I could work on a PR to add a type
translator for GList. Also, has anybody ever tried making bindings using
GObject introspection instead of SWIG, since Gnucash's API is already
GLib-based?
Thanks,
Oliver Trevor
