the module can be imported and used as a library: from erppeek import Client

Command line arguments

There are few arguments to query Odoo models from the command line. Although it is quite limited:

$ erppeek --help

Inspect data on Odoo objects.  Use interactively or query a model (-m)
and pass search terms or ids as positional parameters after the options.

Interactive use

Edit erppeek.ini and declare the environment(s):

[DEFAULT]
scheme = http
host = localhost
port = 8069
database = openerp

options = -c /path/to/openerp-server.conf --without-demo all

[demo]
username = demo
password = demo

[local]
scheme = local

Connect to the Odoo server:

erppeek --list
erppeek --env demo

This is a sample session:

>>> model('res.users')
<Model 'res.users'>
>>> model('res.users').count()
4
>>> model('ir.cron').read(['active = False'], 'active function')
[{'active': False, 'function': 'run_mail_scheduler', 'id': 1},
 {'active': False, 'function': 'run_bdr_scheduler', 'id': 2},
 {'active': False, 'function': 'scheduled_fetch_new_scans', 'id': 9}]
