Add EntryList and _gncEntry objects to list typemap.

I'm trying to use the python bindings to fetch entry (line-item) data
from an invoice.

See http://pastebin.com/fy06CPup for the test GnuCash XML file I'm using. (It just has two accounts and an invoice with three line items.)

I expect the attached script to print the three line items from the
invoice in that file, but instead it dies with:

% gnucash-env python invoice_read.py test2.gnucash
* 15:07:39  WARN <gnc.backend.dbi> [gnc_module_init_backend_dbi()] No
DBD drivers found
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 225594

  • File "invoice_read.py", line 16 in <module> 
    print entry.GetDescription()
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gnucash/function_class.py", line 92 in method_function 
    *process_list_convert_to_instance(meth_func_args) )
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gnucash/gnucash_core_c.py", line 3825 in gncEntryGetDescription 
    return _gnucash_core_c.gncEntryGetDescription(*args)
TypeError: in method 'gncEntryGetDescription', argument 1 of type 
'GncEntry const *'

Other methods on the Entry objects yield similar results.

Running on Ubuntu Lucid. Tested with 2.4.0-1~getdeb1~lucid from
getdeb.net and from svn r20126 with the same results.

Patch attached.
