If this is a xmlrpclib limitation, and OpenERP relies on xmlrpclib, shouldn't OpenERP wrap the calls to xmlrpclib in a way that makes sure this does not happen?: I mean, replacing the keys of the returned dictionaries with their string representation.

When accessing these functions through XMLRPC (at least using python's xmlrpclib), the use of integer ids as keys causes an error. For example, the following code snippet (using get_product_available from addons/stock/product.py): stocknum = sock.execute(db, uid, pass, 'product.product', 'get_product_available', p['id'], {'location': stockid}) Results in the traceback: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1199, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1489, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1253, in request return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1392, in _parse_response return u.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 838, in close raise Fault(**self._stack[0]) xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>:dictionary key must be string"> I'm not very experienced with XMLRPC, so apologies if this is a problem specific to python's xmlrpclib, or my use of it. But if not, then perhaps a solution similar to the last patch proposed on the above forum post - ensuring dict keys are run through str() - would be wise. This is with OpenERP 5 rev. 2159. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
