DESCRIPTION

    This module parses Ledger journal into Ledger::Journal object. See
    http://ledger-cli.org/ for more on Ledger, the command-line
    double-entry accounting system software.

    Ledger 3 can be extended with Python, and this module only supports a
    subset of Ledger syntax, so you might also want to take a look into the
    Python extension. However, this module can also modify/write the
    journal, so it can be used e.g. to insert transactions programmatically
    (which is my use case and the reason I first created this module).

    This is an inexhaustive list of things that are not currently
    supported:

      * Costs & prices

      For example, things like:

       2012-04-10 My Broker
          Assets:Brokerage            10 AAPL @ $50.00
          Assets:Brokerage:Cash

      * Automated transaction

      * Periodic transaction

      * Expression

      * Various commands

      Including but not limited to: assert, C (currency conversion), ...

ATTRIBUTES

 input_date_format => str ('YYYY/MM/DD' or 'YYYY/DD/MM')

    Ledger accepts dates in the form of yearless (e.g. 01/02, 3-12) or with
    4-digit year (e.g. 2015/01/02, 2015-3-12). Month and day can be single-
    or double-digits. Separator is either - or /.

    When year is omitted, year will be retrieved from the year attribute.

    The default format is month before day (YYYY/MM/DD), but you can also
    use day before month (YYYY/DD/MM).

 year => int (default: current year)

    Only used when encountering a date without year.
