gncEntryComputeValue exported to python?

[Christoph R]

Hi Derek,

Yeah, I am on that track already. 

So far I focused on the reporting side only. Goal was to show the price before taxes in taxinvoice.scm instead of the typed in price. I have a working version by adding (and calling) a gncEntryGetInvNetPrice function which calculates this from the existing struct entry. Just working out how to provide that patch for review.

My next step will be figuring about good ways to solve the original problem of correctly adding purchase entries to invoices with differing tax rates. And I that without modifying struct entry.

Cheers,
Christoph
