[GNC-dev] [GNC] ofxtools - a Python OFX library

[Sébastien de Menten]

Hello Christopher

I am the dev of piecash. Regarding the second resolution of datetime, I
think I got it by reverse engineering the SQL database format for gnucash
books (you can check by introspecting the DB or the XML). Why do you need
this very high resolution? I think most of the datetime elements in gnucash
are in fact days represented as datetime with some convention for time
(12:00 UTC or more complex logic).
