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

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

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from setuptools import setup, find_packages, Extension

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 :)

@wzyboy how do I manually rebuild every python package? Is there a easy way to do it?

wzyboy commented on 2020-12-06 07:26 (UTC)

@yadunut You need to rebuild every Python package after upgrading Python. For official packages, this has already been done. For AUR packages, you have to do it yourself.

Upgrading to python 3.9 broke this package. Changing to beancount-git works

@sugar Done.

Would you mind adding armv7h to the supported architectures? It builds and works perfectly fine.
