extended-accounts returns null

[felciano]

I'm getting a null return consistently when using the --extended-accounts command-line switch. This happens irrespective of whether I also include the --accounts switch or have --extended-accounts on its own. Has anyone else run into this?

[felciano]

I think this might be a configuration issue. The null is from an except clause thrown because a call to mintapi.make_accounts_presentable is failing because it can't find that function. When I tryfrom mintapi import make_accounts_presentable, I get

ImportError: cannot import name 'make_accounts_presentable'

It looks like the function isn't seen:

import mintapi
print(dir(mintapi))

yields

['Mint', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__', 'api', 'get_accounts', 'get_budgets', 'initiate_account_refresh', 'main', 'print_accounts']

Shouldn't make_accounts_presentable show up in that list of module attributes?

Figured it out -- I didn't realize these methods were shadowed in the api module. In case anyone else runs into this, the following will allow you to access any method in the mintapi module.

from mintapi import api
from mintapi.api import make_accounts_presentable
from mintapi.api import get_accounts

This is useful if, for example, you want to write a different commandline client by copying and extending the existing main() method, which makes calls to make_accounts_presentable and get_accounts.
