Python is a versatile programming language used in many domains: web development, data science, scripting, automation, and ERP. In the context of Odoo development, Python is the main language: all the framework's business logic is written in Python, from ORM models to controllers, wizards, and migration scripts.
Python at the core of every Odoo module
In every module I develop for Odoo, Python is omnipresent. It's the language I use to define data models, business logic, API controllers, migration scripts, and tests. All of Odoo's business framework relies on Python, making it my daily working language for over a year.
Result — My Python proficiency allows me to develop complete Odoo modules and dig into the framework's source code when necessary.
- Proficiency level
- Intermediate level. Python is my third base language (after JavaScript/TypeScript and PHP). I use it daily in the Odoo context but I still need to deepen my knowledge of the language's advanced patterns.
- Importance in my profile
- Python is directly linked to my Odoo specialization. Progressing in Python means progressing in Odoo, and vice versa.
- Hindsight and advice
- To master Python in an ERP context, you need to go beyond syntax and understand Odoo-specific patterns: class inheritance, decorators, metaclasses, and ORM.
- Medium-term goal
- Reach an advanced level in Python, particularly on advanced language aspects (metaclasses, descriptors, async) and their application in the Odoo context.
- Current or upcoming training
- Reading Odoo's source code to understand advanced Python patterns used by the framework. Exploring open-source Python projects.
