Learning Python and trying to understand the new odoo API has been a challenge to me.

how to I convert this method to new API? this will help me a lot in my attempt to grasp new API concept

def name_get(self, cr, uid, ids, context={}):

        if not len(ids):

                  return []

       reads = self.read(cr, uid, ids, ['name', 'lastname'], context)

       res = []

       for record in reads:

                 name = record['name']

                 if record['lastname']:

                        name = record['lastname'] + ', '+name

                res.append((record['id'], name))

                return res

the method read name and lastname  from res.partner

and append Id value to the name as return.
