New issue 172: How to override "HEADER" in bean-extract?
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/172/how-to-override-header-in-bean-extract

Zhuoyun Wei:

Hi,

in `extract.py` I could see this comment:

```
# The format for the header in the extracted output.
# You may override this value from your .import script.
HEADER = ';; -*- mode: beancount -*-\n'
```

However, defining `HEADER` in .import script does not seem to work. It seems that `output.write(HEADER)` in `extract.py` writes the hard-coded header directly to the output.

It's been a while since I've used it so I'm not sure if it still works, but this is what I ended up adding to my .import file:

import beancount.ingest.extract
beancount.ingest.extract.HEADER = ';vim: set ft=beancount sw=4 :\n'
