For now, this is basically the Python version of
ledger-tag-convert.plx. It knows how to create RT web links from
ticket and attachment IDs. It confirms that those objects actually
exist too. It may grow to encompass other functionality in the
future.
This loads settings from the same environment variables and ~/.rtrc
file as the rt CLI.
Note that it does *not* support RTCONFIG and the config file
searching, because right now that seems like more work for more
trouble to me.
Our version of Posting is interface-compatible with Beancount's,
but makes stronger guarantees about the data types for our
higher-level code to rely on.
As I'm pushing to reimplement payment-report/income-report, I see query and
reporting tools will want easy access to these kinds of views, so here it
starts.
* Rename _typing to beancount_types to better reflect what it is.
* LessComparable isn't a Beancount type, so move that to
plugin.core with its dependent helper classes.
* Errors are a core Beancount concept, so move that module to the
top level and have it include appropriate type definitions.
I feel like posting hooks a case of premature optimization in early
development. This approach reduces the number of special cases in
the code and allows us to more strongly reason about hooks in the
type system.
This is the layer that keeps track of the different groups of hooks and
can filter them before runtime. The idea here is that you'll be able
to do things like skip hooks that require network access when you don't
have it, or skip CPU-intensive hooks when you don't need them, etc.
Python's own enum works fine for the simple values that expenseAllocation
uses, but it won't work as well for metadata like taxImplication where
many of the values aren't legal Python identifiers. Introduce our own
MetadataEnum class with the necessary functionality, and switch to that.
This is the simplest version of a common validation we're going to do:
make sure that a particular piece of metadata has one of a set of
values.
This checker needs some bounds checking but I wanted to err on the
side of committing this early because it introduces so much base
infrastructure.
