[GNC] GNUCash & Macros

[brad]

There used to be a wiki page with some examples for using the python 
bindings.   I don't see it anymore, but I did notice examples on git
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/tree/maint/bindings/python/example_scripts

I'm using a python script to do exactly what the OP is looking for & it 
looks like there is a script in the example_scripts link to do that also.
