Warnings

deprecated ERPpeek is no longer maintained. Use Odooly instead. ↓

fix Switch to Odooly (pip install odooly) and update import to `from odooly import Odoo`.

gotcha Authentication: The Client class expects positional arguments (url, db, user, password). Keyword argument names may differ from actual parameters. Verify docs for exact signature. ↓

fix Use positional arguments: Client('http://localhost:8069', 'db_name', 'username', 'password')

gotcha Model method names: Some Odoo methods (e.g., search_read) may not be directly available. Use combination of search and read. ↓

fix Use client.search(model, domain) then client.read(model, ids) instead of search_read.
