Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
In a custom module, if you want to define model FOOBAR you just write the code in foobar.py and include
from . import foobar
in __init__.py
So far, so good.
I want to move my foobar.py to folder models. What shoud be included in __init__.py to reflect the fact that foobar.py is in "models" folder?
your models need to be a python package so it needs a __init__.py with the foobar.py import inside, and in the module root you import the models package. this is the structure:
module_root
----models
--------__init__.py #import foobar
--------foobar.py
----__init__.py #import models
----__openerp__.py
Thanks, it makes sense once explained
This has been working for me in v10 and v11 but now in v12 is not working and i am looking for ideas. Exact same case.
My module files are listed like folows:
-module folder
-- __init__.py
from . import models
--models
--- __init__.py
from . import myfile
---myfile.py
In Odoo newer versions there are some small changes, like:
__openerp__.py was renamed into __manifest__.py
Due to the usage of Python 3 some imports need to be done against the local package like:
from . import models
from . import foobar
Otherwise Python 3 will try to look for an installed library
