Python list all invoices

[Tom Lofts]

Hi Christoph,

While the query api isn’t available in Python yet, I’ve made some steps 
towards this for the REST API I’ve been working on. Some of this code is 
already available in the latest version of Gnucash, mostly in the Python 
examples directory at 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/master/src/optional/python-bindings/example_scripts/rest-api/gnucash_rest.py

The code you’ll want is getInvoices which creates a query which then 
adds a condition to check for paid/unpaid and active/inactive invoices.

I’ve done a little more work which I haven’t made available publicly 
yet, but a work in progress version of this function is also attached.

If you have any queries please let me know.

Kind regards,

Tom
