Error simulation.add_regular()

[Siecje]

I get an error when I run the usage example in the readme.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fin.py", line 12, in <module>
    simulation.add_regular('Income', account, 2000, interval = 'monthly')
  File "C:\Users\cody\Desktop\fin\venv\lib\site-packages\financial_life\financing\accounts.py", line 236, in add_regular
    date_start = validate.valid_date(date_start)
  File "C:\Users\cody\Desktop\fin\venv\lib\site-packages\financial_life\financing\validate.py", line 44, in valid_date
    return Bank_Date.fromtimestamp(date.timestamp())
OverflowError: timestamp out of range

Thanks for the Feedback and sorry for the problem. I will take a look at this tomorrow evening (which is for me in about 24hours ;)). Did you use the latest version from Github or the one from PyPI? Do you run Python3?

It happens with both.

I cannot reproduce the error (Python 3.4 on Ubuntu). Are you using Windows? I found a potential source for your error here:

http://grokbase.com/t/python/python-ideas/139gj88mwd/reduce-platform-dependence-of-date-and-time-related-functions

Although it is supposed to be fixed in Python >3.2, I thought maybe it is better to avoid this issue at all by defining the minimum date as 1.1.1971.

Can you checkout the sources, install the package and test the example again?

I'm using Python 3.5.2 on Windows 10.

When I install the version from GitHub I get a warning and the Main Account and House Credit tables but no charts.

This is the warning

\venv\lib\site-packages\financial_life\financing\accounts.py:646: UserWarning: Difference between current date and next date is 0 and not 1
  warnings.warn('Difference between current date and next date is %i and not 1' % delta)

[Siecje]

I get the same warning and no charts on Ubuntu 16.04

site-packages/financial_life/financing/accounts.py:646: UserWarning: Difference between current date and next date is 0 and not 1
  warnings.warn('Difference between current date and next date is %i and not 1' % delta)

The warning is totally fine but I will consider ommiting it because of the new default settings for simulations.

A show() command was missing in the example to actually display the plots. I never stumbled upon this problem as I am running the simulation in a shell with matplotlib.pyplot.ion().

When you checkout simple_examples.py again and call it with "python3 simple_examples.py" you should now be able to see the plots.

Sorry for the problems but thanks for reporting them!!! I hope, that you can work now with fl!?

Thanks it works great!
