Hi Allen,

I think it should be possible (or almost possible) to enumerate active 
customers already due to some minor changes I submitted to the python 
binding for 2.5.1.

There's already example code for retrieving only active invoices in 
wxample_scripts/rest-api/gnucash_rest.py in getInvoices 
(https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/trunk/src/optional/python-bindings/example_scripts/rest-api/gnucash_rest.py) 
- it should be very simple to use the Query() functionality for 
customers in the same way as invoices.

I will look at including this in my next release of the REST API example.

Kind regards,

Tom
