Igorati,
    Suggestion. Write out what you want to do in
words such that all the things you want to do are
there as unambiguously clear as you can get it.
It will help your thinking on the problem, the
design, and the code; and help anyone trying to
help you.
    Why have transactions not associated with accounts?
All transactions are related to an account; have
a self.TransActList in Account.
    You have "amount" in both Withdrawl and Deposit
both derived from Transaction. If Transactions always
have an amount, why not put amount in the transactions
class? But we don't know.
