oeutils

2 minutes

Historical note (2026): OpenERP was renamed and evolved into Odoo years ago, and its XML-RPC API has moved on since this was written. oeutils itself is unmaintained. Kept here as a project writeup, not as a recommendation to use it today.

OEUTILS

oeutils is a small python wrapper of the xml-rpc API for OpenERP. It is useful when it comes to manipulate your OpenERP objects. It is not as powerful as erppeek yet but i hope that with your help one day it will ^_^. It’s inspired from erpeek and we can say thanks to Florent for that. It’s kind of a personal project and i wanted to be able to do almost the same thing as erppeek but the easiest way. This tool lacks a lot of thing so far, but i hope that over time i will be able to improve it. I’m sure that i’ll be laughing in the next 2 years while seeing this.
