Hi,

I am in the phase of drafting a proposal, but while setting the goals of 
the project I got a few questions.

Regarding exporting the scripting language to python, there is a lot of 
scripting in scheme that exporting all of it to python will be a big 
task in itself. It won't change the functionality of gnucash a lot 
instantly but once the scripts are in python it will then be open to a 
large section of developers. What does the community prefer at this 
point of time? Exporting the whole code to python or start with 
individual parts like report generating along with adding the potential 
features that python will facilitate over scheme, such as flexible 
exporting/importing file formats or ease in generating graphical reports.

Hoping for some suggestions.

Thanks,
Rohan Kulkarni
