Hi, It is a environment object that Encapsulates cr, uid, context:


recs.env encapsulates cr, uid, context:

recs.env.cr     # shortcut: recs._cr
recs.env.uid     # shortcut: recs._uid
recs.env.context     # shortcut: recs._context


recs.env also provides helpers:

recs.env.user      # uid as a record
recs.env.ref('base.group_user')      # resolve xml id
recs.env['res.partner']    # access to new-API model


Switching environments:

rebrowse recs with different parameters

env2 = recs.env(cr2, uid2, context2)
recs2 = recs.with_env(env2)

special case: change/extend the context

recs2 = recs.with_context(context2)
recs2 = recs.with_context(lang='fr')    # kwargs extend current context


special case: change the uid

recs2 = recs.sudo(user)
recs2 = recs.sudo()          # uid = SUPERUSER_ID
