#  @brief Add __str__ and __unicode__ methods to financial objects so that @code print object @endcode leads to human readable results
""" @package str_methods.py -- Add __str__ and __unicode__ methods to financial objects

   Import this module and str(Object) and unicode(Object) where Object is Transaction, Split,Invoice
   or Entry leads to human readable results. That is handy when using @code print object @endcode

   I chose to put these functions/methods in a seperate file to develop them like this and maybe if
   they prove to be useful they can be put in gnucash_core.py.

   I am searching to find the best way to serialize these complex objects. Ideally this serialization
   would be configurable.

   If someone has suggestions how to beautify, purify or improve this code in any way please feel
   free to do so.

   This is written as a first approach to a shell-environment using ipython to interactively manipulate
   GnuCashs Data."""

#   ToDo :
#
#   * Testing for SWIGtypes
#   * dealing the cutting format in a bit more elegant way
#   * having setflag as a classmethod makes it probably impossible to have flags on instance level. Would changing that be useful ?
#   * It seems useful to have an object for each modification. That is because there is some Initialisation to be done.
