OpenERP client library which allows to easily interact with an OpenERP server.
Project description
OERPLib is a client library to OpenERP server. It aims to provide an easy way to remotely pilot an OpenERP server. In addition to supporting create, read, write, unlink and search operations, this library is also able to generate objects which are somewhat similar to the browsable objects available on OpenERP server via the implementation of the browse method, and manipulate them while hiding XML-RPC queries. Retrieve reports and execute workflow queries are also possible.
How does it work? See below:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import oerplib
# Prepare the connection to the OpenERP server
oerp = oerplib.OERP('localhost', 'db_name')
# Login
user = oerp.login('user', 'passwd')
print(user.name) # name of the user connected
print(user.company_id.name) # the name of its company
# Simple 'raw' query
user_data = oerp.execute('res.users', 'read', user.id)
print(user_data)
# Or use the 'read' method
# ('create', 'write', 'unlink' and 'search' exist too)
user_data = oerp.read('res.users', user.id)
# Advanced query: browse objects!
for order in oerp.browse('sale.order', [1, 42]):
print(order.name)
for line in order.order_line:
print(line.name)
# Update data through a browsable object
order.name = "NEW ORDER REF"
oerp.write(order)
See the documentation for more details.

OERPLib is known to work with OpenERP server v5 and v6.
