Bo-Keep

helps you keep your books so you don't get lost.

Bo-Keep allows you to create custom data entry interfaces for accounting software, speeding up data entry and reducing errors.

The system uses front-end plugins for data entry interfaces, and back-end plugins to connect with various accounting programs.

Supported Operating Systems and Dependencies

Bo-Keep is written in python and has been developed and tested on GNU/Linux systems. Reasonable attempts have been made at portability, so it will probably work in other places where the dependencies are available with minimal effort.

Bo-Keep depends on and requires PyGTK with Glade support for its user-interface and ZODB for its data storage.

Plugins

Particular custom interfaces are provided by Bo-Keep plugins. Support for working with different accounting programs is provided by backend plugins. You can learn more about developing Bo-Keep plugins by reading Plugin API README. You can also create your first plugin by following the Mileage Tutorial.

Bo-Keep is most useful with a backend plugin to connect it to a real accounting program, currently only a GnuCash backend plugin exists, so installation of GnuCash is recommended as well. You'll need GnuCash 2.4.0 or later with python bindings enabled.
