Martin Bramwell is trying to make import and export for openERP much more easier than the standard methods.

I am very interested how to setup the datapump on a virtual Ubunto 10.04 or 12.04 machine. I want to:

  • Make exports from v6.1.1.
  • Manipulate the exports
  • And after that import the manipulated data back into OpenERP v6.1.1.

In a next phase at the end of this year:

  • I want to export data from v6.1.1 and
  • import it in v7.

You should only need Python and the four easy_install libraries I mention. git clone the project and run it. If you hit a problem with those please let me know immediately. I have been wanting to make a YouTube video showing the complete procedure from scratch, but I have a commitment to a client that has to have priority. You may prefer to wait for the video if my written instructions fail to serve. A 'dictum' of OSS software is "Release early. Release often!" but that's for the benefit of collaborators rather than end-users. Which of those are you? "Buyer beware" ;-)

@Martin I agree with the dictum. I am end-user. A change is a trigger for the start of a money flow from end-user to collaboraters, the more change the more money for the collaboraters. I will report back my findings.

Error in step 6, see my answer.

btw, I have not addressed the export side at all. My data is coming from Google spreadsheets, so I have not needed that aspect. It's also postponed because the export side is many times easier than the import side, and I prefer to solve the hardest problems first.

I think you are right about this.

I am further now. My findings are on the discussion page.

I try to build up the answer (I hope with some help) myself:

  1. Make a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.
  2. easy_install gspread gives a command not found error. To avoid this:
  3. Install easy_install on Ubuntu with the following command:
  4. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools (don't make the mistake to use an underscore in python-setuptools). See: http://www.hacksparrow.com/ubuntu-how-to-install-easy_install.html
  5. easy_install gspread --> OK
  6. easy_install openerplib gives an error:"No local packages or download links found for openerplib error: couldn't find suitable distribution for requirement.parse (openerplib)
