I'd like to announce ledger2beancount, a script to convert ledger files to beancount. It was developed by Stefano Zacchiroli and myself.
ledger2beancount supports the majority of ledger syntax and features. It also includes some features to improve the conversion from ledger to beancount. For example, ledger only offers one payee field which can be used for the payee or as a free-form description of the transaction. Beancount has two fields, payee and narration. ledger2beancount has two configurable mechanisms that let you determine the payee from the narration (ledger's payee field). You can obtain ledger2beancount from https://github.com/zacchiro/ledger2beancount/ The supported ledger features are described in the README and there's a manual with detailed descriptions of ledger2beancount's features. There's also an illustrated example showing some of the differences between ledger and beancount. Martin Blais released beancount 2.0 a few days ago, so this is a good time to give it a go. In addition to beancount, you may be interested in fava, a web UI for beancount. Feedback and improvements to ledger2beancount are welcome (see the contribution information).
