#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Another test file for price database stuff
# To update the price database call
# $PATH/gnucash-cli --quotes get $PATHTOFILE
# before running this.
# Adding to a calling bash script would be better
# Although calling it from here would be even better!
#  OR:  export PYTHONPATH=<path-to-gnucash-inst-dir>/lib/python3.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
# You may have to adjust the above path to your local system (lib->lib64, python3.7->...)
# Then: ipython3
# The account file is not saved but always use a disposable copy.
# Thanks for contributions by Christoph Holtermann and Mark Jenkins
