A currency trading ledger in Python
Project Description
Tallywallet helps Engineers understand Money and Banking.
You can use it to create economic simulations, or to enable your applications with currency exchange and accounting features.
This package
Tallywallet is a very young project. This package implements the following:
Code
- Functions to work with Promissory Notes
- A Ledger class for double-entry accounting
- An Exchange class to enable currency trading
- Pre-hoc calculation of exchange rate gains on currency trading accounts
- Evaluation of the Fundamental Accounting Equation to verify balanced accounts
- A text format for saving Ledgers to file
Documentation
- A how-to on loans, discounting, and amortization
- A tutorial on how to achieve foreign currency exchange in Python code
- An example of a macroeconomic monetary circuit simulation
Requirements
Tallywallet requires Python 3.4. It uses setuptools for installation, but normally it has no external runtime dependencies.
You may have to compile Python 3.4 yourself if it is not yet available from your package repository.
Tallywallet comes with unit tests. To run them all requires the RSON package.
Quick start
Download and unpack the source distribution:
$ tar -xzvf tallywallet-common-0.009.tar.gz $ cd tallywallet-common-0.009
Run the tests:
$ python3.4 -m unittest discover tallywallet

Roadmap
Tallywallet’s mission is to provide a validated Pythonic framework for money trading and economic applications.
It is developed by a private individual but released to the public under the GNU Affero General Public License.
The API may change significantly as the project proceeds. At this early stage, you should only use the latest release, which may not be compatible with previous versions.
