convert Perl file parser to Python #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The import function is currently written to accept a single type of file, 
a massaged variant on a Quicken .qif file. This variant is created using a 
Perl script (becuase regexes (regexi?) rock in Perl), but this needs to be 
converted to Python. 

A module to convert from Quicken .qif files to the attached .txt data 
format should be written in a seperate Python file. Eventually this will 
be one of many conversion script - each accepting a different type of 
finance data file (Microsoft Money, Quicken, etc..) Conversion scripts 
could be in seperate files, or in a common file.

Module integration will be tracked in another issue.

Attached are two files, the original .qif file and the Perl script. The script 
builds
two output files, one containing Fin-ally formatted data, and the other 
containing a
more readable format of the .qif file.

I added a wiki page [[QIF]] with information on the QIF file format.  The 
Wikipedia
page on this topic includes links to open source scripts that parse these file.

*An important note*
The QIF format has been abandoned by Intuit.  It has been replaced by the OFX 
format.

ActiveState offers the following recipe for parsing QIF files in python:

Be warned -- this page is from 2004.

FINally is no longer supporting the import of financial data in any format. If 
this needs to be re-opened, a new issue will be created.
