Hello
I am following the suggestions from this post (https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/is-the-xml-rpc-api-available-on-openerp-online-915) and using the sample code from openerplib, as follow

import openerplib

DATABASE = 'mydb'
USERNAME = 'admin'
PASSWORD = 'mypass'
SERVER = 'https://' + DATABASE + '.my.openerp.com'

connection = openerplib.get_connection(hostname=SERVER, \
    database=DATABASE, login=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD)
user_model = connection.get_model("res.user")
print user_model
ids = user_model.search([("login", "=", "admin")])
user_info = user_model.read(ids[0], ["name"])
print user_info["name"]
# will print "Administrator"

But getting a connection error as detailed below

<openerplib.main.Model object at 0xb70376cc>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "odoo-t2.py", line 12, in <module>
    ids = user_model.search([("login", "=", "admin")])

    for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):

I have tried also with xmlrpclib and oerplib, with similar error results

This is the sample code using plain xmlrpclib (this is the one I'd like to see working !!!)

server = ServerProxy(SERVER + '/xmlrpc/common')
user_id = server.login(DATABASE, USERNAME, PASSWORD)

server = ServerProxy(SERVER + '/xmlrpc/object')
user_ids = server.execute(DATABASE, user_id, PASSWORD,
    'res.users', 'search', []
)

users = server.execute(DATABASE, user_id, PASSWORD,
    'res.users', 'read', user_ids, []
)

for user in users:
    print(user['id'], user['name'])

 

 

I should be missing something very trivial or connectiong to Odoo online requires something else?

Thanks for your support on my first steps into Odoo API land,

Fausto
