Thanks, John.
In case this will help anyone in the future:
I was still mostly at sea after your email but when I found the Portfile
deep in the Macports area, I scanned it with your advice in mind and
found that…
sudo port install gnucash
…is set to build with -DWITH_PYTHON=ON which was your second clue to
me. Emboldened, I returned to experimenting around your first clue and
improvised on the now ineffectual direction to run…
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
…from…
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Python_Bindings
…after installing. I was relieved to find that gnucash was in that
folder's cousin, and that running…
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
…makes the bindings available at least to Macport's install of its own
python. Running my script roughly like this…
/opt/local/bin/python3.6 script-to-run script-flags-and-parameters
…got me past my error and right into adjusting Jonathan's script to
work for Python 3. One other note is that the documentation instructs
one to run…
sudo port install gnucash +python27
…but that variant doesn't seem to be supported anymore judging by its
absence here…
$ port variants gnucash
gnucash has the variants:
debug: Enable debug binaries
…so, as I mentioned before, it seems to suffice to run…
sudo port install gnucash
Thanks again,
Aaron

GnuCash 2.6 is Python2, GnuCash 3 is Python3. You need to build
GnuCash with python bindings (-DWITH_PYTHON=YES on make, don’t
remember what it was for configure but configure --help will tell
you).
If you need help getting the right packages installed and GnuCash
built with the right arguments you’ll have to ask on the MacPorts
support channels.

John Ralls
