Hi all, I think everybody agree that _obj is a weak convention. _obj appeals to an object / an instance. The alternative proposed suffix is _model. The meaning is clear there. But personally I find it long when the name of the models is already long. I like the idea of the CamelCase (I'm usually following the pep8 rules but here it would make sense to make an exception) as it would be the closest to the class that it represents (on the other hand we could have conflicts if we need a model that is in the same file like SaleOrderLine as noticed by Yannick Vaucher).
I won't bring the debate much further with my poor arguments... but at least it was an excuse to share this commit https://github.com/odoo-dev/odoo/commit/3ac368b588b94d2563427df04f62a05c26b171e4 where odoo is using 2 of them: the meaningless suffix Obj *and* the CamelCase assignation which upset some people ;-) Guewen Baconnier _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
