A custom Python/Django based mini-app (mini — at least for now) that will allow me to import transactions sanely and safely to my local GnuCash install.

I’ve been doing tedious manual entry for a bit over two years now and after having missed three consecutive months, the only other option was to bail.

As a start it should help with 3 main things:

- Translation, categorization: my source documents aren’t in English but my GnuCash entries are. This is one of the reasons I don’t use the built-in imports. (This should shave off at least 90% of time spent entering data)

- Human-error prevention: there were at least 5 times where it took me over 15 minutes to reconcile a discrepancy because I entered some number or some account wrong somewhere.
