Hi Jim,
Did you succeed to import the Python bindings with `import gnucash`?

Could this happen because the book was sometimes locked ? (just a question)
Not that I observed. When it failed, I think it was because of bugs in
the GnuCash build process, either in MacPorts or when I built GnuCash
from source.
Thanks for the code bits. You helped me in the way that it made clear that
gnucash bindings work with Python 3.11. So I decided to give it a try.
As I said, I have Ubuntu 22.04 on my system. This did not seem old to me,
but it is ~2 years old, and the last LTS version is 24.04. That comes with
Python 3.12 and packaged with GnuCash 5.5. I tried those and voila: *it
worked*!
The obvious next question: when you installed the `python3-gnucash`
package on your system, where exactly did it install its .py files?
On MacPorts, I can find out where the `gnucash` port installed its
Python files by means of:
% port contents gnucash | grep Python
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gnucash/__init__.py
...[other paths elided]...
The `Versions/3.11` part of the path is a clue that the `gnucash` port
installed its Python files in Python 3.11, rather than the other several
versions of Python on my system.
Maybe there is a similar command you can use on your system to find out
a) if you have multiple copies of the Python interpreter on your
computer, b) if you have multiple locations where Python modules could
be installed, and c) into which location the `python3-gnucash` package
actually installed its Python modules.
I'm glad to hear that you found a combination which worked.
Best regards,
