Everybody on this mailing list probably has already coded one or more openerp
client library and we all know that it's a waste of time. It would more
efficient if we had only one official client library. I would like to bless
one library to make it the official one. But i dont know which one yet. We
created a project on launchpad where everyone can push their own libs.
https://launchpad.net/openerp-client-lib
Nicolas Vanhoren (my dear colleague) packaged and published a library
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/openerp-client-lib/1.0.0
This library is not endorsed by OpenERP SA but it seems to be a good
candidate. So we ask you to push your candidate libs on launchpad so that we
can review them. Some important requirements:
- the library must not use global vars (means you can have multiple connection
to different servers/dbs in one process)
- api should be similar to the server side api
- no active records nor browse records (yet)
The rationale about the last point is that we plan to introduce a higher level
api more ormish/activerecord-like/queryset-like on the top of the the current
orm layer (and, yes, it means we will finally get rid of cr,uid,ids,context)
This is a definitively a 6.2 topic. But I plan to publish, in collaboration
with Vo Minh Thu, a backward compatible POC soon and i think it will be usable
in the 6.1 server too as an extra module. And I want this layer to work also
client side. So that server side code would be the same as client side code
(but non transactional).
Antony.
