A programm for calculating average expenses from a ledger journal.
Clone repo and maybe setup an alias to python3 run.py.
To let the programm calculate your monthly / yearly expenses (and income) you can start the programm with these parameter:
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| file | your ledger journal file. leave blank, if you set up the LEDGER_FILE variable. |
| -e / --expense | use multiple times to add each account describing your expenses. input holds the account and its name for the ouput. |
| -i / --income | same as for --expense, but for the income accounts. |
| -m / --months | define how many months should be used for the average calculation. default is 12. |
| -y / --yearly | the programm now calculates the yearly instead of the monthly income / expenses. |
| -t / --time | the program interpretes the journal as a time journal. |
Maybe some day there will be a python3 ledger module and I will embed this. The programm would be so much faster without the os.popen stuff.
