I intend to orphan the beangrow package.

The package description is:
  Beangrow contains code which computes investment returns on a variety
  of assets, as recorded by Beancount, fed directly from a Beancount file.
  .
  There are three related scripts:
    - configure.py: This attempts to automatically infer and generate
      configuration to compute returns from an existing Beancount ledger.
    - compute_returns.py: This extracts data for each of the investments
      defined in the configuration and computes the returns and generates
      output for each requested returns report.
    - download_prices.py: The compute_returns.py script outputs a list of
      missing (or inadequately dated) price directives to properly do its
      job as a side-product. This script can read that file and fetch those
      missing dates, which you can insert in your ledger and then rerun
      compute_returns.py for a more precise calculation.
