qifparse is a parser for Quicken interchange format files (.qif).

Even if the qif format is:

• quite old now
• not supported for import by Quicken any more,
• ambiguous in some data management (notably on dates)

it's still quite commonly used by many personal finance managers.

Usage

Here's a sample parsing::

from qifparse.parser import QifParser qif = QifParser.parse(file('file.qif')) qif.get_accounts() (<qifparse.qif.Account object at 0x16148d0>, <qifparse.qif.Account object at 0x1614850>) qif.accounts[0].name 'My Cash' qif.get_categories() (<qifparse.qif.Category object at 0x15b3d10>, <qifparse.qif.Category object at 0x15b3450>) qif.accounts[0].get_transactions() (<Transaction units=-6.5>, <Transaction units=-6.0>) str(qif) '!Type:Cat\nNfood\nE\n^\nNfood:lunch\nE\n^\n!Account\nNMy Cash\nTCash\n^\n!Type:Cash... ...

Here's a sample of a structure creation::

qif_obj = qif.Qif() acc = qif.Account(name='My Cc', account_type='Bank') qif_obj.add_account(acc) cat = qif.Category(name='food') qif_obj.add_category(cat) tr1 = qif.Transaction(amount=0.55) acc.add_transaction(tr1, header='!Type:Bank')

tr2 = qif.Transaction() tr2.amount = -6.55 tr2.to_account = 'Cash' acc.add_transaction(tr2) acc.add(tr2) str(qif_obj) '!Type:Cat\nNfood\nE\n^\n!Account\nNMy Cc\nTBank\n^\n!Type:Bank\nD02/11/2013\nT... ...
