Did you succeed to import the Python bindings with `import gnucash`?
That has succeeded sometimes, and failed sometimes, but presently it
succeeds. (Using the MacPorts distribution of gnucash @5.8_1+docs on macOS.)
I can also, for example, add a security to a book file by using the
GncCommodity() class. This sample code worked for me:
import gnucash
FILE = "file://./test_book_1.gnucash"
session = gnucash.gnucash_core.Session(FILE)
book = session.book
comms = book.get_table()
qqq = gnucash.gnucash_core.GncCommodity(book, 'QQQ_fullname', 'MySecurityType',
'QQQ', 'QQQ_qsip', 100)
comms.insert(qqq)
session.end()
session.destroy()
quit()

Sure, as I mentioned:
Other gnucash related OS packages:
* gnucash-common
* gnucash-docs
* *python3-gnucash*
Sorry, I guess I did not follow your meaning. I read you as saying that
those packages, but not that those packages were actually installed on
your system.

display (in the same way it displayed information about the package
gnucash)?
Package: python3-gnucash
Version: 1:4.8-1build2
State: installed
Section: universe/python
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com>
Architecture: amd64
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libpython3.10 (>=
3.10.0), python3 (< 3.11), python3 (>= 3.10~), python3:any
As you can see from Depends, it installs bindings for python3 >= 3.10~
< 3.11.
3.10.12 is the version of Python3 installed on my OS, so this should
conform (no wonder, since it is an OS package). Maybe some other
libraries (like libc6?, etc.) are incompatible between gnucash
and python3-gnucash?
You have reached the limit of my knowledge, especially concerning
GnuCash on Linux. Sorry.
Can you do `import gnucash` from a Python REPL?
Again, yes. Thus you can be confident that it has worked for someone
somewhere at some time.
Best regards,
