PR #2187 made GncPrice.get_value() return a GncNumeric wrapper and clone() a fully wrapped GncPrice. The price example scripts still used the pre-5.15 raw _gnc_numeric idiom and broke -- reported as Bug 799796 (cloned prices silently kept the original value). Example scripts (bindings/python/example_scripts/): * quotes_historic.py -- reworked to the modern idiom; it now actually runs on 5.x (it had further latent breakage beyond the reported one): - Construct each price directly with GncPrice(book) + setters instead of cloning an existing price, so the script no longer needs a pre-existing price in the book. Look the pricing currency (USD) up from the commodity table rather than deriving it from a split. - Build the value with the double->GncNumeric constructor at GnuCash's standard price precision -- the pricing currency's SCU * COMMODITY_DENOM_MULT rounded HALF_UP (gnc-pricedb.h "Price policy") -- dropping the Fraction.from_float().limit_denominator(100000) dance and its import. - Set the source with the PriceSource enum -- set_source(PriceSource.FINANCE_QUOTE) (the enum added in #2317). The original set_source("Finance::Quotes::Historic") passed a string to what has been an enum setter since 2.6, which raises TypeError on modern bindings. - Open with Session(url), which defaults to SESSION_NORMAL_OPEN. The old Session(url, True, False, False) passed the deprecated ignore_lock=True, silently bypassing the book's lock file. * priceDB_test.py, price_database_example.py -- num/denom are methods now, so read v.num() / v.denom(). Prevent silent recurrence (gnucash_core.py): The write path failed *silently*, which is how this slipped through review and CI. num/denom are read-only accessor methods, so assigning to them merely shadows the method and changes nothing. Add a GncNumeric.__setattr__ that raises AttributeError on assignment to num/denom, pointing at the correct idiom GncNumeric(num, denom). Test (bindings/python/tests/test_numeric.py): New test_num_denom_read_only covering the guard. It needs no backend, so it runs in the existing python-bindings CTest on all platforms. The wiki page Stocks/get_prices, which the reporter copied from, is being updated separately.
