Components

ebia — core library

Stateless, no side effects. Can be used standalone via CLI or imported directly.

• parser.py — extracts Client, date, total_ttc from a French-format PDF invoice using pdfplumber; parse_many() parses a list of PDFs in parallel using ProcessPoolExecutor, returning (path, dict | Exception, list[LogRecord]) triples — log records collected in the worker are re-emitted by the caller so they reach the UI and log file on all platforms
• xls_generator.py — generates one .xlsx per month with one sheet per day; 3 accounting rows per invoice (411 / 44571 / 701). Supports retroactive insertion (patch_month_workbook) for late invoices arriving after a month has already been processed.

ebia_ui — desktop application

Built with customtkinter. Requires Python + display (not headless).

• Run view — manual trigger + recurring scheduler (daily / weekly / monthly). The engine runs in a separate process (own GIL) so the UI stays responsive during execution. Includes a shortcut button to open the reports folder directly in File Explorer, and a run history table showing the last 20 executions (manual and scheduled) with status, report count, invoice count, and error details.
• Config view — VAT rate, invoice folder path, configurable reports output folder, manual PDF archive trigger
• Client view — client reference registry (accounting code ↔ client name) backed by a ttk.Treeview for instant rendering regardless of list size. Add and edit via modal popup dialog; pre-populated with a default client list on first launch.
• About view — app version (read dynamically from the installed package)
• Manifest — SHA-256 deduplication: already-processed PDFs are skipped on subsequent runs; only recorded after successful Excel generation
• Per-month document counters — each calendar month tracks its own last-used document number independently, so re-running for a past month never resets or conflicts with other months

ebia_ui/paths.py — centralised path configuration

All filesystem paths are defined in one place. To change a location, edit only this file:

APP_DIR      = Path.home() / ".equipe_baie"                          # config, clients, manifest, logs
REPORTS_DIR  = Path.home() / "Documents" / "Equipe_Baie" / "Rapports"
ARCHIVES_DIR = Path.home() / "Documents" / "Equipe_Baie" / "factures_archives"

---

Application data locations

Data	Default location
Config (VAT rate, folder paths, etc.)	~/.equipe_baie/config.json
Client reference registry	~/.equipe_baie/clients.json
Processed-file manifest	~/.equipe_baie/processed.json
Run history	~/.equipe_baie/run_history.json (last 100 runs, all triggers)
Application logs	~/.equipe_baie/logs/ebia.log (5 MB × 3 rotating backups)
Generated Excel reports	~/Documents/Equipe_Baie/Rapports/ (configurable in Config view)
Archived PDFs	~/Documents/Equipe_Baie/factures_archives/ (configurable in Config view)

On Windows ~ resolves to C:\Users\<user>, on Linux/macOS to /home/<user>.

Installation

Windows — client machines

Download EquipeBaie_Setup.exe from the latest GitHub Release.

Before running the installer, unblock the downloaded file to prevent Windows SmartScreen from prompting. Open PowerShell and run:

Unblock-File -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\EquipeBaie_Setup.exe"

Then double-click EquipeBaie_Setup.exe. The installer will:

1. Install the application to Program Files\EquipeBaie
2. Silently import the code-signing certificate into the Windows Trusted Root store
3. Create a Start Menu shortcut (and optionally a Desktop shortcut)
4. Register an uninstaller in Programs & Features

After the first installation, all future updates signed with the same certificate will run without any SmartScreen warning — no Unblock-File step needed again.

Library only (CLI usage)

pip install ebia

Development (library + UI + tests)

git clone https://github.com/Alamajdoub9/EquipeBaie_Freelance-project.git
cd EquipeBaie_Freelance-project

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate          # Linux / macOS
# .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1       # Windows PowerShell

pip install -e ".[dev,app]"

---

Running the application

ebia-ui
# or
python -m ebia_ui.main

On first launch:

1. Go to Configurations and set the invoice folder path (where your PDFs are stored)
2. Optionally adjust the VAT rate, the reports output folder, and the archive folder
3. Go to Clients to review the pre-loaded client list and add or edit entries as needed
4. Go to Exécution and click Lancer maintenant

Generated Excel files are written to the reports folder configured in the Config view (default: ~/Documents/Equipe_Baie/Rapports/).

To archive processed PDFs after a run, go to Configurations → Archivage des Factures and click Archiver les factures traitées. Only PDFs already recorded in the manifest are moved.

---

CLI usage (library only)

# Parse a single PDF and print extracted fields
ebia --path facture.pdf

# Generate Excel from a folder of PDFs
ebia --path ./invoices --out ./output/result.xlsx --start-piece 1 --start-document 1

---

Delivery

The project has two deliverables released together by the same workflow.

1. ebia PyPI package

pip install ebia

Published automatically on every release. The ebia_ui package is excluded from the wheel (internal app, not a public library).

2. Windows installer (EquipeBaie_Setup.exe)

Built via PyInstaller (onedir) + Inno Setup on a Windows runner and attached to the GitHub Release alongside the wheel. No Python installation required on the target machine.

# Build the app folder locally (requires PyInstaller)
python scripts/build_exe.py
# produces: dist/EquipeBaie/EquipeBaie.exe

# Build the installer locally (requires Inno Setup installed)
iscc /DMyAppVersion=x.y.z installer\EquipeBaie.iss
# produces: dist/EquipeBaie_Setup.exe

---

Code signing

The Windows installer and executable are signed with a self-signed certificate (installer/equipebaie.cer). The certificate is automatically imported into the client machine's Trusted Root store during installation, so no SmartScreen warnings appear on subsequent runs.

The private key (.pfx) is stored as a GitHub Actions secret (CODESIGN_PFX_B64) and never committed to the repository. The public certificate (.cer) is committed and bundled into the installer.

To regenerate the certificate (e.g. after expiry in 2031):

1. Run New-SelfSignedCertificate as described in the signing setup guide
2. Export the new .pfx and .cer
3. Update the CODESIGN_PFX_B64 and CODESIGN_PFX_PASSWORD GitHub secrets
4. Replace installer/equipebaie.cer with the new .cer
5. Re-run the one-time Import-Certificate step on each client machine

---

Versioning and release

Both deliverables share a single version number defined in pyproject.toml. The about view reads it dynamically via importlib.metadata — no manual update needed.

To publish a new release, trigger the Release workflow from the GitHub Actions UI and pick the bump type:

Input	Effect	Example
patch (default)	Bug fixes	0.2.0 → 0.2.1
minor	New features, backwards-compatible	0.2.0 → 0.3.0
major	Breaking changes	0.2.0 → 1.0.0

The workflow will:

1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml and push a chore: bump version to X.Y.Z commit to main
2. Run the full test suite (gate)
3. Build and publish the wheel to PyPI
4. Create a GitHub Release with the wheel attached
5. Build EquipeBaie/ (onedir) with PyInstaller on a Windows runner
6. Sign EquipeBaie.exe with the code-signing certificate
7. Build EquipeBaie_Setup.exe with Inno Setup
8. Sign the installer
9. Attach EquipeBaie_Setup.exe to the GitHub Release
