   Since this project relies so heavily on Ledger-CLI, we'd really like there
 
   to be a full test coverage for Ledger-CLI.  To do that, a student will
 
   need to be already somewhat familiar C++ and willing to learn about how to
 
   set up test suites for C++ programs, and likes writing tests.  The student
 
   could easily spend the whole summer just writing tests and not finish.
 

	
 
    Ledger-CLI does have the beginnings of a test suite, but its test harness
 
    needs work and improvement, and it would be very good if a test coverage
 
    report was generated.  There is also work to be done to investigate what
 
    test coverage tools should be used  for the project.
 

	
 
    While this project is of primary interest to this project, it will
 
    require careful coordination with Ledger-CLI as an upstream, and we'll
 
    help mentor the student in that.
 
    
 
3. Build a better Python interface to Ledger-CLI for use by our API.
 

	
 
   Right now, Ledger-CLI has a rather incomplete Python interface, based on
 
   [Boost.Python](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/python/doc/).
 
   However, the right approach is probably to use
 
   [SWIG](http://www.swig.org/) or some other similar mechanism to build a
