qifparse is a parser for Quicken interchange format files (.qif).
Even if the qif format is:
- quite old now
- not supported for import by Quicken any more,
- ambiguous in some data management (notably on dates)
it's still quite commonly used by many personal finance managers.
It is also the only export format supported by many (older) versions of Quicken.
Here's a sample parsing:
>>> from qifparse.parser import QifParser
>>> qif = QifParser.parse(file('file.qif'))
>>> qif.get_accounts()
(<qifparse.qif.Account object at 0x16148d0>, <qifparse.qif.Account object at 0x1614850>)
>>> qif.get_accounts()[0].name
'My Cash'
>>> qif.get_categories()
(<qifparse.qif.Category object at 0x15b3d10>, <qifparse.qif.Category object at 0x15b3450>)
>>> qif.get_accounts()[0].get_transactions()
(<Transaction units=-6.5>, <Transaction units=-6.0>)
>>> str(qif)
'!Type:Cat\nNfood\nE\n^\nNfood:lunch\nE\n^\n!Account\nNMy Cash\nTCash\n^\n!Type:Cash...
...Here's a sample of a structure creation:
>>> qif_obj = qif.Qif()
>>> acc = qif.Account(name='My Cc', account_type='Bank')
>>> qif_obj.add_account(acc)
>>> cat = qif.Category(name='food')
>>> qif_obj.add_category(cat)
>>> tr1 = qif.Transaction(amount=0.55)
>>> acc.add_transaction(tr1, header='!Type:Bank')
>>> tr2 = qif.Transaction()
>>> tr2.amount = -6.55
>>> tr2.to_account = 'Cash'
>>> acc.add_transaction(tr2)
>>> acc.add(tr2)
>>> str(qif_obj)
'!Type:Cat\nNfood\nE\n^\n!Account\nNMy Cc\nTBank\n^\n!Type:Bank\nD02/11/2013\nT...
