cedksharoon: hi, I did not well understand your tweet about Tryton and website21:26
cedksharoon: can you explain me?
sharooncedk: 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 online21:27
sharooncedk: right now building the paypal payment feature so i can quickly get payments also
cedksharoon: ok, I understand21:28
sharooncedk: the only screwup still remains not being able to generate pdfs
cedksharoon: if you want you can make a news for the tryton website about your usage21:29
sharoonsure
sharooncedk: i will write it up and snd you
cedksharoon: great
cedksharoon: yesterday, you did not answer me about your OS for pdf generation
sharooncedk: ubuntu 9.1021:30
cedksharoon: is uno module compiled for the right python version?
sharooncedk: i installed using apt
cedksharoon: by the way, I think about adding your sale_opportunity module on the roadmap21:31
sharooncedk: :-)
cedksharoon: sometimes I got issue with python interact because of dead soffice process21:32
sharooncedk: i am trying to figure out the issue, but did not have much time yesterday21:33
cedksharoon: so I need to kill soffice to get it works again
sharooncedk: will let you know of any updates
cedksharoon: it is sad that Ooo doesn't provide a library to make format conversion21:34
cedksharoon: but it seems it is a work in progress, I saw a talk at fosdem about ODF tools21:35
sharooncedk: agree, and inspite of the popularity PDF conversion is still a pain
sharooncedk: great to hear that
cedksharoon: but they progress very slowly because ODF is a big stuff
sharooncedk: ok
cedksharoon: so I think we can not expect something before 2 years21:36
sharooncedk: thats very long...
cedksharoon: Ooo is developped by very few guys
sharooncedk: ok
cedksharoon: and I don't know how Oracle will handle Ooo21:37
sharooncedk: agree
cedksharoon: perhaps we should look at koffice or abiword
sharooncedk: never tried abiword21:38
cedksharoon: I just checked it seems they don't handle correctly ODF21:39
sharooncedk: :(
cedksharoon: I also already thought about improving the current report engine to have more output format21:41
cedksharoon: because Ooo has really a lot of input/output format21:42
sharooncedk: i there no other way of converting to PDF after rendering be relatorio?
sharoonbe* by
cedksharoon: I have looked longtime but did not find anything21:43
sharooncedk: i wish there was some alternative21:44
cedksharoon: I wish ODF became a well know standard :-)21:46
cedksharoon: any way according to this http://groups.google.com/group/tryton-dev/browse_thread/thread/d0839c7c677026b321:47
sharooncedk: i was surprised to see that office 2007 supports it... it opens an ODT
cedksharoon: we will need to be able to generate directly pdf for very long report
cedksharoon: yes it was announced, but according to the sun guy (at fosdem) there is no way to verify if it handles correctly21:48
sharooncedk: agree,
cedkACTION go to lunch21:49

mlhamelhello
mlhameltryton and zc.buildout
mlhameldid you try it ?22:29
mlhamelI have a small problem with trytond's setup.py script
mlhamelit seems that the bin dir is not packaged correctly
-!- g0q(~g0q@142.176.238.66) has joined #tryton22:34
mlhamelbuildout bug... sorry22:47

cedkmlhamel: what was the issue?23:36
mlhamelno problem it's just a bug in zc.buildout, the trytond scripts was not correctly copied in the bin dir23:37
mlhamelyour setup.py file was correctly made
cedkmlhamel: don't know zc.buildout
cedkmlhamel: ok fine
mlhamelbuildout is build/deployement system in python23:38
mlhamelvery cool, and simple, which is something not common for a tools made by some zope guys
mlhameloh by the, I was evaluation tryton for my company, very cool, and very clean23:39
mlhamelbut we really need a web interface
mlhameldo you think it's something "easy" to port etiny for tryton ?
-!- rednul_(~rednul@216.187.188.134) has joined #tryton23:40
cedkmlhamel: I will not encourage to start from etiny
cedkmlhamel: we have made some preparation for a coming web client23:41
mlhameland do you have a timeframe ?
cedkmlhamel: we have perhaps the possibility to write one (not yet confirm)
mlhamelI may be available for help if needed23:42
cedkmlhamel: what is your need for a web client?
mlhamelIn fact, we are evaluating the possibility to replace our old erp system, and we need to be able to acces it from different sources
mlhameland different computer
mlhameland installing a software on all machine is not necessarly possible23:43
mlhamelin fact my boss ask to taked a look at openerp
sharoonmlhamel: you have an update on https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/520006
mlhamelhehe23:44
sharoonmlhamel: looks like your bug made it to the serious list, otherwise it would have been into the bin
mlhamelyeah this is before i discovered tryton
cedkmlhamel: sharoon had made some connection between tryton and a django website
sharoonmlhamel: 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 module23:45
mlhamelyou mean, sharoon created a kind of simple concept of web application in django
sharoonmlhamel: i dint create a concept i used: http://code.google.com/p/tryton/wiki/HowToUseTrytondAsAModule23:46
mlhamelyeah but I think I don't have a complete idea of the complexity to develop a equivalent client
sharoonmlhamel: maintaining two clients according to me isnt a good idea
cedkmlhamel: I have made a prototype with GWT and I estimate a full feature web client will take 2 months23:47
sharoonmlhamel: lot of pain like what Open ERP has... the webclient just sucks... can share some client abuses with you ;-)
mlhamelyeah 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
cedksharoon: I started by making it working exactly the same as the GTK one
mlhamelyou mean tryton client was not just a fork, you re-coded ?23:48
cedkmlhamel: we made some changes since openerp fork, to fix stuffs23:49
sharoonmlhamel: 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
mlhamelyes this is exactly what I saw on your website that i liked
cedksharoon: for me openobject is not yet a framework :-)
mlhamelunitest23:50
mlhamelbuildbot
mlhameleach module/component in a egg
cedkmlhamel: everything is not yet fine but it is a work in progress
mlhamela real python application and corretly package
sharooncedk: sent something interesting to your mail
cedkmlhamel: I wanted it (I'm a gentoo dev and I know how it can be difficult to distribute application)23:51
mlhamelhey  guys I have to go but I'll come back later cause I may have some other questions for you
cedksharoon: not yet receive but we have greylisting
cedkmlhamel: I think we will know for the webclient in one week23:52
mlhamelcool and as I says, if we can help...23:53
mlhamelciao
cedksharoon: received23:54
cedksharoon: what is the interesting part?
sharooncedk: arent fables interesting?23:55
cedksharoon: always the same marketing blabla
cedksharoon: I find the sun joke very funny23:56
sharooncedk: nothing serious anyway, just something to laugh about
cedksharoon: ok did not understand you at first :-)
sharooncedk: wanted to reply: rewrite 'Sun' by oracle23:57
cedksharoon: did you see my question about lock with mysql?
sharooncedk: its a known issue right, and no solution yet
cedksharoon: I thought about locking all tables
cedksharoon: so it will behave like the sqlite backend23:58
sharooncedk: MySQL --- not for an ERP atleast!
sharooncedk: even sqllite makes sense to me and same with NESO... but not sure if mysql is such an important idea23:59
cedksharoon: yes, I will not recommend it for large stuff
sharoonnot even sure of its future
cedksharoon: 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
