2010-02-10 21:26 <cedk> sharoon: hi, I did not well understand your tweet about Tryton and website
2010-02-10 21:26 <cedk> sharoon: can you explain me?
2010-02-10 21:27 <sharoon> cedk: i use tryton as a module for our website backend. Our customers can track status of a project and other details using the django app... but accounts and invoice was missing. We started using tryton for accounting last month and now i have interfaced it to django... so customers can see their invoices online
2010-02-10 21:27 <sharoon> cedk: right now building the paypal payment feature so i can quickly get payments also
2010-02-10 21:28 <cedk> sharoon: ok, I understand
2010-02-10 21:28 <sharoon> cedk: the only screwup still remains not being able to generate pdfs
2010-02-10 21:29 <cedk> sharoon: if you want you can make a news for the tryton website about your usage
2010-02-10 21:29 <sharoon> sure
2010-02-10 21:29 <sharoon> cedk: i will write it up and snd you
2010-02-10 21:29 <cedk> sharoon: great
2010-02-10 21:29 <cedk> sharoon: yesterday, you did not answer me about your OS for pdf generation
2010-02-10 21:30 <sharoon> cedk: ubuntu 9.10
2010-02-10 21:30 <cedk> sharoon: is uno module compiled for the right python version?
2010-02-10 21:30 <sharoon> cedk: i installed using apt
2010-02-10 21:31 <cedk> sharoon: by the way, I think about adding your sale_opportunity module on the roadmap
2010-02-10 21:31 <sharoon> cedk: :-)
2010-02-10 21:32 <cedk> sharoon: sometimes I got issue with python interact because of dead soffice process
2010-02-10 21:33 <sharoon> cedk: i am trying to figure out the issue, but did not have much time yesterday
2010-02-10 21:33 <cedk> sharoon: so I need to kill soffice to get it works again
2010-02-10 21:33 <sharoon> cedk: will let you know of any updates
2010-02-10 21:34 <cedk> sharoon: it is sad that Ooo doesn't provide a library to make format conversion
2010-02-10 21:35 <cedk> sharoon: but it seems it is a work in progress, I saw a talk at fosdem about ODF tools
2010-02-10 21:35 <sharoon> cedk: agree, and inspite of the popularity PDF conversion is still a pain
2010-02-10 21:35 <sharoon> cedk: great to hear that
2010-02-10 21:35 <cedk> sharoon: but they progress very slowly because ODF is a big stuff
2010-02-10 21:35 <sharoon> cedk: ok
2010-02-10 21:36 <cedk> sharoon: so I think we can not expect something before 2 years
2010-02-10 21:36 <sharoon> cedk: thats very long...
2010-02-10 21:36 <cedk> sharoon: Ooo is developped by very few guys
2010-02-10 21:36 <sharoon> cedk: ok
2010-02-10 21:37 <cedk> sharoon: and I don't know how Oracle will handle Ooo
2010-02-10 21:37 <sharoon> cedk: agree
2010-02-10 21:37 <cedk> sharoon: perhaps we should look at koffice or abiword
2010-02-10 21:38 <sharoon> cedk: never tried abiword
2010-02-10 21:39 <cedk> sharoon: I just checked it seems they don't handle correctly ODF
2010-02-10 21:39 <sharoon> cedk: :(
2010-02-10 21:41 <cedk> sharoon: I also already thought about improving the current report engine to have more output format
2010-02-10 21:42 <cedk> sharoon: because Ooo has really a lot of input/output format
2010-02-10 21:42 <sharoon> cedk: i there no other way of converting to PDF after rendering be relatorio?
2010-02-10 21:42 <sharoon> be* by
2010-02-10 21:43 <cedk> sharoon: I have looked longtime but did not find anything
2010-02-10 21:44 <sharoon> cedk: i wish there was some alternative
2010-02-10 21:46 <cedk> sharoon: I wish ODF became a well know standard :-)
2010-02-10 21:47 <cedk> sharoon: any way according to this http://groups.google.com/group/tryton-dev/browse_thread/thread/d0839c7c677026b3
2010-02-10 21:47 <sharoon> cedk: i was surprised to see that office 2007 supports it... it opens an ODT
2010-02-10 21:47 <cedk> sharoon: we will need to be able to generate directly pdf for very long report
2010-02-10 21:48 <cedk> sharoon: yes it was announced, but according to the sun guy (at fosdem) there is no way to verify if it handles correctly
2010-02-10 21:48 <sharoon> cedk: agree,
2010-02-10 21:49 <cedk> ACTION go to lunch

2010-02-10 22:28 <mlhamel> hello
2010-02-10 22:28 <mlhamel> tryton and zc.buildout
2010-02-10 22:29 <mlhamel> did you try it ?
2010-02-10 22:29 <mlhamel> I have a small problem with trytond's setup.py script
2010-02-10 22:29 <mlhamel> it seems that the bin dir is not packaged correctly

2010-02-10 22:47 <mlhamel> buildout bug... sorry

2010-02-10 23:36 <cedk> mlhamel: what was the issue?
2010-02-10 23:37 <mlhamel> no problem it's just a bug in zc.buildout, the trytond scripts was not correctly copied in the bin dir
2010-02-10 23:37 <mlhamel> your setup.py file was correctly made
2010-02-10 23:37 <cedk> mlhamel: don't know zc.buildout
2010-02-10 23:37 <cedk> mlhamel: ok fine
2010-02-10 23:38 <mlhamel> buildout is build/deployement system in python
2010-02-10 23:38 <mlhamel> very cool, and simple, which is something not common for a tools made by some zope guys
2010-02-10 23:39 <mlhamel> oh by the, I was evaluation tryton for my company, very cool, and very clean
2010-02-10 23:39 <mlhamel> but we really need a web interface
2010-02-10 23:39 <mlhamel> do you think it's something "easy" to port etiny for tryton ?
2010-02-10 23:40 -!- rednul_(~rednul@216.187.188.134) has joined #tryton
2010-02-10 23:40 <cedk> mlhamel: I will not encourage to start from etiny
2010-02-10 23:41 <cedk> mlhamel: we have made some preparation for a coming web client
2010-02-10 23:41 <mlhamel> and do you have a timeframe ?
2010-02-10 23:41 <cedk> mlhamel: we have perhaps the possibility to write one (not yet confirm)
2010-02-10 23:42 <mlhamel> I may be available for help if needed
2010-02-10 23:42 <cedk> mlhamel: what is your need for a web client?
2010-02-10 23:42 <mlhamel> In fact, we are evaluating the possibility to replace our old erp system, and we need to be able to acces it from different sources
2010-02-10 23:42 <mlhamel> and different computer
2010-02-10 23:43 <mlhamel> and installing a software on all machine is not necessarly possible
2010-02-10 23:43 <mlhamel> in fact my boss ask to taked a look at openerp
2010-02-10 23:43 <sharoon> mlhamel: you have an update on https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/520006
2010-02-10 23:44 <mlhamel> hehe
2010-02-10 23:44 <sharoon> mlhamel: looks like your bug made it to the serious list, otherwise it would have been into the bin
2010-02-10 23:44 <mlhamel> yeah this is before i discovered tryton
2010-02-10 23:44 <cedk> mlhamel: sharoon had made some connection between tryton and a django website
2010-02-10 23:45 <sharoon> mlhamel: if you really want to use tryton as a system web for some limited functionality then its a 5 mins job once you have some html and css... just use tryton as a module
2010-02-10 23:45 <mlhamel> you mean, sharoon created a kind of simple concept of web application in django
2010-02-10 23:46 <sharoon> mlhamel: i dint create a concept i used: http://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/HowToUseTrytondAsAModule
2010-02-10 23:46 <mlhamel> yeah but I think I don't have a complete idea of the complexity to develop a equivalent client
2010-02-10 23:46 <sharoon> mlhamel: maintaining two clients according to me isnt a good idea
2010-02-10 23:47 <cedk> mlhamel: I have made a prototype with GWT and I estimate a full feature web client will take 2 months
2010-02-10 23:47 <sharoon> mlhamel: lot of pain like what Open ERP has... the webclient just sucks... can share some client abuses with you ;-)
2010-02-10 23:47 <mlhamel> yeah maybe you right but in fact I was contemplating the idea of having the less posible logic in the client and to make every needed parts
2010-02-10 23:47 <cedk> sharoon: I started by making it working exactly the same as the GTK one
2010-02-10 23:48 <mlhamel> you mean tryton client was not just a fork, you re-coded ?
2010-02-10 23:49 <cedk> mlhamel: we made some changes since openerp fork, to fix stuffs
2010-02-10 23:49 <sharoon> mlhamel: it 'was' a fork, but today tryton as a framework is much better than openobject, the framework that Open ERP works on.... technically much superior
2010-02-10 23:49 <mlhamel> yes this is exactly what I saw on your website that i liked
2010-02-10 23:49 <cedk> sharoon: for me openobject is not yet a framework :-)
2010-02-10 23:50 <mlhamel> unitest
2010-02-10 23:50 <mlhamel> buildbot
2010-02-10 23:50 <mlhamel> each module/component in a egg
2010-02-10 23:50 <cedk> mlhamel: everything is not yet fine but it is a work in progress
2010-02-10 23:50 <mlhamel> a real python application and corretly package
2010-02-10 23:50 <sharoon> cedk: sent something interesting to your mail
2010-02-10 23:51 <cedk> mlhamel: I wanted it (I'm a gentoo dev and I know how it can be difficult to distribute application)
2010-02-10 23:51 <mlhamel> hey guys I have to go but I'll come back later cause I may have some other questions for you
2010-02-10 23:51 <cedk> sharoon: not yet receive but we have greylisting
2010-02-10 23:52 <cedk> mlhamel: I think we will know for the webclient in one week
2010-02-10 23:53 <mlhamel> cool and as I says, if we can help...
2010-02-10 23:53 <mlhamel> ciao
2010-02-10 23:54 <cedk> sharoon: received
2010-02-10 23:54 <cedk> sharoon: what is the interesting part?
2010-02-10 23:55 <sharoon> cedk: arent fables interesting?
2010-02-10 23:55 <cedk> sharoon: always the same marketing blabla
2010-02-10 23:56 <cedk> sharoon: I find the sun joke very funny
2010-02-10 23:56 <sharoon> cedk: nothing serious anyway, just something to laugh about
2010-02-10 23:56 <cedk> sharoon: ok did not understand you at first :-)
2010-02-10 23:57 <sharoon> cedk: wanted to reply: rewrite 'Sun' by oracle
2010-02-10 23:57 <cedk> sharoon: did you see my question about lock with mysql?
2010-02-10 23:57 <sharoon> cedk: its a known issue right, and no solution yet
2010-02-10 23:57 <cedk> sharoon: I thought about locking all tables
2010-02-10 23:58 <cedk> sharoon: so it will behave like the sqlite backend
2010-02-10 23:58 <sharoon> cedk: MySQL --- not for an ERP atleast!
2010-02-10 23:59 <sharoon> cedk: even sqllite makes sense to me and same with NESO... but not sure if mysql is such an important idea
2010-02-10 23:59 <cedk> sharoon: yes, I will not recommend it for large stuff
2010-02-10 23:59 <sharoon> not even sure of its future
2010-02-10 23:59 <cedk> sharoon: it was 1.5 days of dev and I found it was funny to do it at the same time OpenERP announce sun partnership with a SA branch that doesn't work
