Thanks a lot, I think I have to wait until bindings are finished since 
this is daunting task for a complex app like gnucash, just want to say 
that I started to use gnucash with http://www.sqlalchemy.org
an excellent object-relational mapper for python ( it is really great 
that mysql and sqlite are now supported ! ).
gnucash 2.3.7 works well for me and I can query the data from my python 
programms to do for example specific reporting and calculations.
I still can't write data , though and once the python bindings are ready 
, the combination of sqlalchemy , python and gnucash can open a
great variety of extensions. It also opens possibilites to automatic 
testing and consistency checking ( for example for enterprise ( or 
family ) internal accounting policies )

thanks for gnucash ( I am even a little richer now, because thanks to 
gnucash , I waste less money (;- )
