Bookkeeper
Introduction
This is a simple double-ledger bookkeeping tool for a small business, operated from the command line.
Installation
pip install pybookkeeper
Usage
Create a directory for your ledger, and run bookkeeper from there.
Your directory should contain ledger-defs.txt, which defines your ledger map, and the outline of the generated statements.
The transactions for accounts are stored in data-YYYY-MM.txt files.
For example, for year 2025, you would have:
- directory
2025 - file
2025/ledger-defs.txt - files
2025/data-2025-01.txt,2025/data-2025-02.txt, etc.
Running
bookkeeper 2025
will generate in directory output/, which is created if it does not exist,
the files general-ledger.txt, statement.txt and journal.txt.
You can change the output directory with --output-directory, as follows
bookkeeper 2025 --output-directory 2025-books
