Transactions skipped due to date

[stefanjf]

I'm trying to use csv2ofx in python as a library. I'm using the "normal OFX usage" example code found in the README. However, none of the transactions are getting exported to OFX. I narrowed it down to this line in the "clean_trxns" function:
filtered_trxns = it.ifilterfalse(self.skip_transaction, trxns)

It seems as though they're being skipped because they don't fall within the right dates. Is there a clean way to set the start/end dates when using as a library?

Can you please provide the data file you used?

I just had the same issue and I think, it has to do with an unspecified start-date. If this is not specified, it is declared in the init-file:
self.start = kwargs.get('start', dt.now())
as now. So every transaction is out of date.
My workaround is this:
from dateutil.parser import parse okwargs = {'start': parse('2010-01-01')} ofx = OFX(mapping,**okwargs)

So I think the start-date should have a useful value(as it is in the cli) or the documentation should be changed.

FWIW, you can just do...

from datetime import datetime as dt
ofx = OFX(mapping, start=dt(2000, 1, 1))

Also, which date would you like the default to use?

Edit: you were right... the previous version was incorrect.

just something in the past, so that it is no exclusion for typical data. Let's say '2000-01-01'

Is there a clean way to set the start/end dates when using as a library?

from datetime import datetime as dt
from csv2ofx.ofx import OFX
from csv2ofx.mappings.default import mapping

ofx = OFX(mapping, start=dt(2010, 1, 1), end=dt(2015, 1, 1))
