Shouldn't hurt anything.

A simple app would be best if that isn't too hard to do. Otherwise send your 
full code, but that'll probably take longer to figure out.  The traceback 
would be helpful too.

Please do bug me - PyKDE is a large chunk of code and I can't write enough 
test code to verify everything, so info like this is really useful.

Accounting software - I have the General Ledger stuff pretty much done and 
need to add Purchasing, Invoicing and Inventory modules. My accounting needs 
are pretty trivial (up til now I've "done the books" once a year on 
spreadsheets), but cashflow management is pretty complicated.  So my system 
is kind of "inside out" - the cashflow management part does accounting as a 
side effect rather than the other way around that something like QuickBooks 
would do.
