"GnuCash after its guille-inflicted near death experience (how many volunteers you

zero) has now Python API ..."

If only we could come of with a Python report system.

Sorry, I am little bit out of touch ... I thought that port from Scheme
is much more advanced than it apparently is.

I don't understand what you mean by "port from Scheme"?  GnuCash still
uses all the scheme it has been using for years.  The new thing is that
there are *also* python bindings (in development) that can be used to
write python scripts to manipulate gnucash data.
