Hi,

in extract.py I could see this comment:

# The format for the header in the extracted output.
# You may override this value from your .import script.
HEADER = ';; -*- mode: beancount -*-\n'

However, defining HEADER in .import script does not seem to work. It seems that output.write(HEADER) in extract.py writes the hard-coded header directly to the output.

You write a script with a main(), import extract, and override its value.
Maybe I should remove the comment.
