As Fava now supports Beancount v3, this package has been updated to v3, which includes breaking changes. Please read upstream documentation before upgrading.

Notably, bean-query and bean-extract commands have been split into beanquery and beangulp packages.

@Speranskiy Do you have bison package installed? It's in the base-devel group so it's not included in the AUR deps.

bison is a new dependency. Fails to build with such error:

../meson.build:3:8: ERROR: Program 'bison win_bison' not found or not executable

Note: if you are using Fava, you also need beangulp 0.2.0 if you upgrade to beancount 3.1.0.

Please, consider adding python-click to the dependencies. I couldn't run bean-check without installing it:

$ bean-check file.beancount 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bean-check", line 5, in <module>
    from beancount.scripts.check import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/beancount/scripts/check.py", line 7, in <module>
    import click
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click'

fyi, beancount's readme has been updated, v3 is considered stable now and v2 "obsolete" (https://github.com/beancount/beancount/commit/a2f034d7bc86601ee07308506a1f0410333668a0)

Fava still depends on beancount v2 though, the according issue for v3 support is at https://github.com/beancount/fava/issues/1860

Please do not flag as out-dated because there is v3 version on PyPI. This package is not going to be upgraded to 3.0.0 for now for the following reasons:

  • the popular frontend "fava" does not yet support beancount 3

  • despite being published to PyPI, the v3 branch of beancount states that it's unstable

Please, add python-setuptools in dependencies. The package can't be installed without python-setuptools:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/xxx/.cache/rua/build/beancount/src/beancount-2.3.5/setup.py", line 18, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup, find_packages, Extension
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

In order for this to build, I changed python-magic-ahupp (an AUR packge) to python-magic from the Community repo and the build and installation were successful. I have not tested whether the functionality provided by this module works. In any case, the "Installing Beancount" document lists this as an optional dependency, which the PKGBULD should probably also reflect.

Otherwise, this is really nice.

@yadunut After upgrading to Python 3.9, use pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python3.8 to find out what needs to be rebuilt. Python upgrades its minor version every a few years so don't panic, you do not need to do this often.

Or, the package maintainer (me) can trigger a rebuild by bumping the pkgrel :)
