pyesef

A library for extracting XBRL-files in the ESEF-format using the Arelle module.

How to use

• Download sample archives: python3 -m pyesef -d.

If you don't want to use the downloader, you should place the zip-files in the archives folder of the root folder:

.devcontainer
.github
.vscode
archives
    yourfile.zip
pyesef

Files in the archives folder will be extracted if you run python3 -m pyesef -e. This will create two files: definitions.csv and output.csv.
