beancount-oneliner 1.0.6

Plugin for Beancount to write oneliner transaction entries.

How to use

Two leg simple amount transactions are supported, because they are the bulk of entries. Support for price and cost may come, feel free to contribute.

1999-12-31 note Assets:Cash "Income:Test -16.18 EUR ! Description goes here #myTag *"

will be translated into

1999-12-31 ! "Description goes here" #myTag
	Income:Test		-16.18 EUR
	Assets:Cash

Install

pip3 install beancount_oneliner --user

Or copy to path used for python. For example, $HOME/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/beancount_oneliner/oneliner.py would do on Debian. If in doubt, look where beancount folder is and copy next to it.
