It handles three account types: bank accounts, credit card accounts, and investment accounts, each with different statement structures and transaction types.\n\nThe package is designed for one-way parsing: reading OFX files you've downloaded from your financial institution and extracting their data into your application. It has no runtime dependencies (only build-time ones), making it lightweight once installed. However, the project has been abandoned for over five years with no active maintenance, so it may not handle newer OFX variants or edge cases from current financial software.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it. The package is abandoned (last release 2021-05-31, no commits or updates since), installs only from source, and has no active maintenance. For new projects, use a maintained OFX parser or consider whether your financial institution offers a modern API instead. If you must parse OFX files, verify first that the package handles your institution's current format."},"id":"ofxparse","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ofxparse","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ofxparse.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ofxparse/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-05-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ofxparse","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Tools for working with the OFX (Open Financial Exchange) file format"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":197568,"position":9756,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.21"}
