Hi Heart?

That probably is the latest version (but your attachment was 0 bytes), and it 
may be possible for you to use it.  It is suited to input of csv files as from 
a bank.  Much depends on the format of your csv file, and if you could supply 
an non-incriminating version I could check, or you could just try it yourself, 
as per the instructions at the top of the file.

I have since taken a different approach, in an attempt to cope with csv file 
layout differences and individual preferences, and have produced a plugin for 
use with KMM version 3/9X, which I see you have.  The csv is awaiting the 
approval of the KMM developers prior to being accepted, but of course they 
have been otherwise occupied lately!  (NB. to the developers.  Please let me 
know when you may be able to go ahead as I have made some minor changes.)

However, if you are able to compile from the source (or are willing to try), I 
can either provide patches to implement it on a trial basis, or as a file plus 
some minor edits to KMM files (with instructions) to allow you to test it out.

I've been using it for a few months without problem with different 
institutions and formats and locales, and for me it works well, to the extent 
that I prefer it to qif import, where the bank gives a choice.

Let me know if you want to try the plugin, or if you try the py script and 
have problems, then I'll be glad to try and help.
