[GNC] Python bindings broken?

[Thomas Klausner]

Hi!

I’m using Gnucash 5.9 on NetBSD with Python 3.13.1.
I have a script that I run every half a year or so, and I ran it again today, and it didn’t work.
The last time I ran it (successfully) was in April, so with Gnucash 5.6 and Python 3.12, I think.

The symptoms are that:
- The root account has no children or descendants 
- Ending the session doesn’t remove the “.LCK” file.

I’ve simplified the script to the following:



#!/usr/bin/env python3

  import gnucash


  session = gnucash.Session("test.gnucash")
  root_account = session.book.get_root_account()
  for child in root_account.get_children():
      print(child.GetName())
  for child in root_account.get_descendants():
      print(child.GetName())
  session.end()


It should iterate over all accounts and print all of their names (once using get_children(), once using get_descendants()). I only tried get_descendants() because get_children() didn’t work.

Does this work for others (with Python 3.13?) or is this currently broken?

Any ideas what the problem could be or how to debug this?

Thanks,
 Thomas
