This looks cool. One question: how do you deal with split transactions? The comments in models.py suggest that they are supported. However, the signature of the debit and credit methods in AccountBase only have space for one account on the other side of the transaction, e.g.:

def debit(self, amount, credit_account, description, debit_memo="", credit_memo="", datetime=None):

Are you planning to implement it later, or did I miss it in my quick reading of the code?

When I last looked up double-entry bookkeeping for Django for some projects I was working on, I came across Oscar and specifically https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-accounts . Have you seen that project? Any sense of how yours compares?

django-oscar-accounts includes a web UI (I assume from the screenhots when I clicked your link).

bookkeeper has an empty views.py, and seems to be using django mostly for the ORM.

I'm curious to know what other people are using for this type of functionality. Does anyone reading this link their app directly to an accounting package, and post transactions in real-time using that API?

This actually looks neat
