Hi Mike,

This is a bug in the current trunk I still have to fix [1].

You can work around it currently by setting an environment variable before running your 
python scripts:

XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/gnucash-devel/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/local/share:/usr/share <your 
python script>

That should all be in one line.

Regards,

Geert
