Django Ledger | Uniting Developers and Accountants for... with Miguel Sanda
summary
Django Ledger claims to be a Django-based double entry bookkeeping framework that actually validates credits equals debits, produces journal entries and generates balance sheets P&Ls and cash‑flow PDFs. It exposes a ledger model per object, enforces multi‑tenancy and posting controls at the DB layer, and provides an admin UI plus a middleware that compiles dispatched transactions into one atomic commit. Blueprints let accountants parameterize behavior while developers dispatch routines, and the demo code and generated statements show it working end to end.
