To support converting international standard export standards, by integrating the fintech pypi module as a parser for non CSV source, and their conversion to QIF in your tool.

The module supports parsing the MT940 and CAMT.053 international bank transaction standards documentation and examples here, among other banking automation features, but does not do any reformating for QIF output.

Neat library. But I'm a bit worried about the license and fees.

As i read it, he is limiting it to 'free desltop use' of it, so its not used in production code.
i guess you can reach out to him if you are not too happy and want an exeption or clarification. Cannot see why he would not.

I reached out to the developer about it.

He got back to me, and (subtly) pointed out that there were other open options for either format, but not both like the fintech module. MT940 seems to be well represented, more than CAMT
