accounting/financial apps

[Lewis Bergman]

Anyone know of any projects like this in Django? The closest I can find
is Luca http://www.epx.com.br/luca/ which is based on turbogears.

I find myself in need of at least some accounts receivable app that can
track user invoices, payments, balances, and the standard stuff required
for keeping track of money received.

Any hints would be great as I am trying not to reinvent the wheel.

You may want to look at the accounting modules of TinyERP:

http://tinyerp.com/demonstration.html

It's a powerful ERP system, written in Python, with a client-server
architecture, and very modular. A web "client" (also exposing a web
server) was recently added to the existing GTK one:

eTiny 1.0 (stable) released...

Alas, it's also based on Turbogears, not on Django. It may be worth a
look anyway.

My .emacs is 41 lines and it never changes. It uses emacs-major-version
and emacs-minor-version to find and load a version-specific .emacs for
the running version. That file is 899 lines. It conditionally loads bits
and pieces of code from 41 files in another directory containing a total
of 4668 lines of elisp that I've written over the years...

Yikes, that thing is complex. Seems powerful but it was difficult to
figure out what to do. I think I would have a reolt on my hands if I put
this in place. I was thinking something a bit more simple. Thanks
though. For what I want, it might be just as easy to roll my own. I just
want to keep accounts receivable for customers, taxes, and be able to
generate reports about what category of sales are doing. SOunds like
just a few tables.

You could check  out http://www.satchmoproject.com for  some useful models. It's an online store so it doesn't have AR type functionality but maybe you could use some of the PDF generating and tax modules to give you an idea of where to start.

Good luck,
Chris

Thanks, I'll do that.
