I use a python library in the form:

class SomeClass(object) 
    def __init__(self, arg1, arg2): ...     def fct1(self):
        ...    return something

Directly in python:

x = SomeClass(arg1,arg2)

create an object alright.

I would like to do the same in Odoo. I tried the following:

class SomeClass(models.Model)
  def connect(self, arg1, arg2):
...
def fct1(self):
...
return something

But 

x = connect(arg1,arg2)

returns :

NameError: global name 'connect' is not defined

How should I use my  python library?

TIA

Try this:

x = self.connect(arg1,arg2)

when you call in SomeClass or (when SomeClass is instance)

x = SomeClass.connect(arg1,arg2)


Example:

class MyClass(models.Model):
    _name = 'my.class'
    def _test(self,a,b):
        return a+b

class OtherClass(models.Model):
...
    MyClass = self.env['my.class'] # create instance
    result = MyClass._test(2,3)
...
print result
> 5


Example 2:  myclass.py in folder myaddons

class MyClass:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def _test(self,a,b):
return a+b

in other Odoo class:

from openerp.addons.myaddons.myclass import MyClass
...
x = MyClass('Hello')
y = x._test(2,3)
...
print x.name
> Hello
print y
> 5

I tried it but it return "None" when I "print x". an instance is not created

I am aware that I have to use self.env['my.class'] to access a method in a separate class in odoo. What I try to do is using python code that is not in odoo. How would I call a method that is under a class 'SomeClass(object)' having a __init__ constructor function (vs. a classic odoo model that is using 'models.Model' and do not have the __init__ function)?

It works fine. Thank you a bunch for your help zbik!!

I thought that by declaring the code in the __init__.py code of that directory (models):

> import myclass

I could use it but it seem it is not the case and when importing it in the Odoo Class, the methods are available to be called.

I could use it but it seem it is not the case and when importing it directly in the Odoo Class; the methods are available to be called.
