moneyGuru is a personal finance management application. With it, you can evaluate your financial situation so you can make informed (and thus better) decisions. Most finance applications have the same goal, but moneyGuru's difference is in the way it achieves it. Rather than having reports which you have to configure (or find out which pre-configured report is the right one), your important financial data (net worth, profit) is constantly up-to-date and "in your face". This allows you to constantly make informed decision rather than doing so periodically.

This package contains the source for moneyGuru. Its documentation is available online. Here's how this source tree is organised:

• core: Contains the core logic code for moneyGuru. It's Python code.
• cocoa: UI code for the Cocoa toolkit. It's Objective-C code.
• qt: UI code for the Qt toolkit. It's written in Python and uses PyQt.
• images: Images used by the different UI codebases.
• debian: Skeleton files required to create a .deb package.
• help: Help document, written for Sphinx.
• locale: .po files for localisation.

There are also other sub-folder that comes from external repositories and are part of this repo as git subtrees:

• hscommon: A collection of helpers used across HS applications.
• cocoalib: A collection of helpers used across Cocoa UI codebases of HS applications.
• qtlib: A collection of helpers used across Qt UI codebases of HS applications.
• ambuttonbar: Cocoa library to display filter buttons.
• psmtabbarcontrol: Cocoa library for tabs.

If you're on Linux or Mac, there's a bootstrap script that will make building very, very easy. There might be some things that you need to install manually on your system, but the bootstrap script will tell you when what you need to install. You can run the bootstrap with:

./bootstrap.sh

and follow instructions from the script. You can then ignore the rest of the build documentation.

Then, you have to make sure that your system has its "non-pip-installable" prerequisites installed:

• All systems: Python 3.3+
• Mac OS X: The last XCode to have the 10.7 SDK included.
• Windows: Visual Studio 2010, PyQt 4.7+, cx_Freeze and Advanced Installer (you only need the last two if you want to create an installer)

On Ubuntu, the apt-get command to install all pre-requisites is:

$ apt-get install python3-dev python3-pyqt4 pyqt4-dev-tools python3-setuptools

On Arch, it's:

$ pacman -S python-pyqt4

Use Python's built-in pyvenv to create a virtual environment in which we're going to install our Python-related dependencies. pyvenv is built-in Python but, unlike its virtualenv predecessor, it doesn't install setuptools and pip (unless you use Python 3.4+), so it has to be installed manually:

$ pyvenv --system-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ python get-pip.py

Then, you can install pip requirements in your virtualenv:

$ pip install -r requirements-[osx|win].txt

([osx|win] depends, of course, on your platform. On other platforms, just use requirements.txt).

With your virtualenv activated, you can build and run moneyGuru with these commands:

$ python configure.py
$ python build.py
$ python run.py

You can also package moneyGuru into an installable package with:

$ python package.py

The complete test suite is ran with Tox 1.7+. If you have it installed system-wide, you don't even need to set up a virtualenv. Just cd into the root project folder and run tox.

If you don't have Tox system-wide, install it in your virtualenv with pip install tox and then run tox.

You can also run automated tests without Tox. Extra requirements for running tests are in requirements-tests.txt. So, you can do pip install -r requirements-tests.txt inside your virtualenv and then py.test core hscommon

For further development-related documentation, there's a "moneyGuru Developer Documentation" section in the english version of the main documentation. This documentation is built with the app and is also available online.
