Proteus is a Python library to access Tryton [1] server. (Tryton is a three-tiers high-level general purpose application platform) It can be used through XML-RPC or by using trytond as module and provides an Active Record pattern enabling you to interact pythonically with your Tryton server. Its common usages are: - scripting for automatic actions - scenario testing - automatic setup - basement for a CLI (with iPython, bpython etc.) - basement for a minimal client Here is some example usage: At first you import the necessary functions >>> from proteus import config, Model, Wizard Then you can create a database and install the `party` module into it >>> config = config.set_trytond(':memory:', database_type='sqlite') >>> Module = Model.get('ir.module.module') >>> party, = Module.find([('name', '=', 'party')]) >>> Module.button_install([party.id], config.context) >>> Wizard('ir.module.module.install_upgrade').execute('start') We will then create a party, set her name and even her language >>> Party = Model.get('party.party') >>> party = Party() >>> party.name = 'ham' >>> party.save() >>> party.name u'ham' >>> party.id > 0 True Notice how addresses (which are a One2Many field for the party model) are handled just like Python list objects: >>> Address = Model.get('party.address') >>> address = Address() >>> party.addresses.append(address) >>> party.save() >>> party.addresses #doctest: +ELLIPSIS [proteus.Model.get('party.address')(...)] More on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/proteus/1.8.0 [1] http://www.tryton.org/
