This issue seems old, but for anyone wondering about it I'm leaving a response.

It seems the example in the README.rst is incorrect. If you look in the balance_sheet.py file, or better yet run help(balance_sheet) in the REPL or Ipython session, you'll see that the assets and liabilities are read-only properties. All you need to do to continue with the example is fill-in the values for each of the parameters for the assets and liabilities. In my case, I just set everything to 10.00.

balance_sheet = BalanceSheet(cash=10.00,
                             short_term_investments=10.00,
                             net_receivables=10.00,
                             inventory=10.00,
                             other_current_assets=10.00,
                             ppe=10.00,
                             goodwill=10.00,
                             intangible_assets=10.00,
                             other_lt_assets=10.00,
                             accounts_payable=10.00,
                             accrued_liabilities=10.00,
                             short_term_debt=10.00,
                             current_part_lt_debt=10.00,
                             other_current_liabilities=10.00,
                             long_term_debt=10.00,
                             other_lt_liabilities=10.00,
                             deferred_lt_liabilities=10.00,
                             minority_interest=10.00,)

Thanks for leaving this @Crazylegs85! I haven't been great about updating the documentation for this project. I was doing this more as a proof of concept, but it seems that people might actually be interested in using it.

If that is the case, I need to find a better way to allow users to load data. I'm open to any suggestions.
