Ah! Thank you for this nudge, John. I like using Python. Doing my import via Python would likely be very comfortable for me.

This question may end up leading me to learn not just how to automate my mac UI, but also how to use the Python bindings in GnuCash.

I have been using the macOS GnuCash app downloaded via GnuCash.org, which I understand does not include Python bindings. However, I use MacPorts all the time, and it looks like MacPorts will be happy to provide me GnuCash with the Python bindings enabled.

I appreciate the pointer. (Well, not pointer exactly, because it is Python after all, but… reference?)
