(Chilkat2-Python) QuickBooks - Read an Account

Demonstrates how to fetch the information for a specific Quickbooks account. The account information is fetched by Id. The account Ids can be obtained by querying the accounts and parsing the JSON that is returned.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
