Error when working with non-empty ledger file

[phil-mitchell]

Using master, the following command:

ledger-autosync -l test.ledger

Where test.ledger contains any transactions, e.g.:

2016/01/02 Transfer
    Assets:Checquing:T:J       CAD400.00
    Assets:Savings:T:T:J  -CAD400.00

Yields the following error if there were downloaded transactions that need to be processed:

It looks like there is a problem with the ledger-python interface. ledger-autosync can interact with ledger, hledger, or the ledger python bindings. It will prefer python if available.

I myself don't often use the python bindings because I have found them to be buggy. I can reproduce this with my debian testing machine and will attempt to fix.

It will also add an option to disable using the python bindings so a user can at least work around these situations.

In the meantime, another workaround would be to remove the python ledger bindings or create a virtualenv that does not use them. If the bindings are not available ledger-autosync will not use them

Thanks for the quick reply. Removing ledger-python package resolves the issue for me. Glad to hear you can reproduce locally.

I have fixed the python binding tests and disabled their use by default.
