setuptools-odoo is a library to help packaging Odoo addons with setuptools. It mainly populates the usual setup.py keywords from the Odoo manifest files.

It enables the packaging and distribution of Odoo addons using standard python infrastructure (ie setuptools, pip, wheel, and pypi).

The following prerequisites apply:

• Odoo version 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are supported (see notes in the documentation for implementation differences).
• To install addons packaged with this tool, any pip version that supports the wheel package format should work (ie pip >= 1.4).
• For any advanced use such as installing from source, installing from git, packaging wheels etc, you need a recent version of pip (>= 9.0.1).
• Finally, if you are using Odoo 8, 9 or 10, you need to install odoo-autodiscover (pip install odoo-autodiscover) to provide automatic extension of the addons path (and workaround a bug with setuptools > 31 and Odoo 10). odoo-autodiscover is not necessary for Odoo >= 11.

To be packaged with this library, the addon source code must have the following structure (assuming the addon is named <addon_name>):

# Odoo >= 11
setup.py
odoo/
odoo/addons/
odoo/addons/<addon_name>/
odoo/addons/<addon_name>/__manifest__.py
odoo/addons/<addon_name>/...

# Odoo 10
setup.py
odoo/
odoo/__init__.py
odoo/addons/
odoo/addons/__init__.py
odoo/addons/<addon_name>/
odoo/addons/<addon_name>/__manifest__.py
odoo/addons/<addon_name>/...

# Odoo 8, 9
setup.py
odoo_addons/
odoo_addons/__init__.py
odoo_addons/<addon_name>/
odoo_addons/<addon_name>/__openerp__.py
odoo_addons/<addon_name>/...

where odoo/__init__.py, odoo/addons/__init__.py, and odoo_addons/__init__.py are standard python namespace package declaration __init__.py (note __init__.py is absent for Odoo >= 11):

__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)

and where setup.py has the following content:

import setuptools

setuptools.setup(
    setup_requires=['setuptools-odoo'],
    odoo_addon=True,
)

The usual setup() keyword arguments are computed automatically from the Odoo manifest file (__manifest__.py or __openerp__.py) and contain:

• name: the package name, odoo<series>-addon-<addon_name>
• version: the version key from the manifest
• description: the summary key from the manifest if it exists otherwise the name key from the manifest
• long_description: the content of the README.rst file if it exists, otherwise the description key from the manifest
• url: the website key from the manifest
• license: the license key from the manifest
• packages: autodetected packages
• namespace_packages: ['odoo', 'odoo.addons'] (Odoo 10) or ['odoo_addons'] (Odoo 8, 9), absent for Odoo 11
• zip_safe: False
• include_package_data: True
• install_requires: dependencies to Odoo, other addons (except official odoo community and enterprise addons, which are brought by the Odoo dependency) and python libraries.
• python_requires

Then, the addon can be deployed and packaged with usual setup.py or pip commands such as:

python setup.py install
python setup.py develop
python setup.py bdist_wheel
pip install odoo<8|9|10|11|12|13>-addon-<addon name>
pip install -e .
pip install -e git+https://github.com/OCA/<repo>/<addon>#egg=odoo<8|9|10|11|12|13>-addon-<addon name>\&subdirectory=setup/<addon name>

When odoo-server-autodiscover is installed, The addons-path is automatically populated with all places providing odoo addons installed with this method.

It is of course highly recommanded to run in a virtualenv.

Note

Odoo 8, 9 namespace.

Although the addons are packaged in the odoo_addons namespace, the code can still import them using import odoo.addons..... odoo_addons must never appear in the code, it is just a packaging peculiarity for Odoo 8 and 9 only, and does not require any change to the addons source code.

Addons that are intended to be reused or depended upon by other addons MUST be packaged individually. When preparing a project for a specific customer, it is common to prepare a collection of addons that are not intended to be depended upon by addons outside of the project. setuptools-odoo provides tools to help you do that.

To be packaged with this library, your project must be structured according to the following structure:

# Odoo >= 11
setup.py
odoo/
odoo/addons/
odoo/addons/<addon1_name>/
odoo/addons/<addon1_name>/__manifest__.py
odoo/addons/<addon1_name>/...
odoo/addons/<addon2_name>/
odoo/addons/<addon2_name>/__manifest__.py
odoo/addons/<addon2_name>/...

# Odoo 10
setup.py
odoo/
odoo/__init__.py
odoo/addons/
odoo/addons/__init__.py
odoo/addons/<addon1_name>/
odoo/addons/<addon1_name>/__manifest__.py
odoo/addons/<addon1_name>/...
odoo/addons/<addon2_name>/
odoo/addons/<addon2_name>/__manifest__.py
odoo/addons/<addon2_name>/...

# Odoo 8, 9
setup.py
odoo_addons/
odoo_addons/__init__.py
odoo_addons/<addon1_name>/
odoo_addons/<addon1_name>/__openerp__.py
odoo_addons/<addon1_name>/...
odoo_addons/<addon2_name>/
odoo_addons/<addon2_name>/__openerp__.py
odoo_addons/<addon2_name>/...

where setup.py has the following content:

import setuptools

setuptools.setup(
    name='<your project package name>',
    version='<your version>',
    # ...any other setup() keyword
    setup_requires=['setuptools-odoo'],
    odoo_addons=True,
)

The following setup() keyword arguments are computed automatically from the Odoo manifest files (__manifest__.py or __openerp__.py) and contain:

• packages: autodetected packages
• namespace_packages: ['odoo', 'odoo.addons'] (Odoo 10) or ['odoo_addons'] (Odoo 8, 9), absent for Odoo 11
• zip_safe: False
• include_package_data: True
• install_requires: dependencies on Odoo, any depending addon not found in the addons directory, and external python dependencies.
• python_requires

It is possible to use a dictionary instead of True for the odoo_addon and odoo_addons keywords, in order to control their behaviour.

The following keys are supported:

• depends_override, used to precisely control odoo addons dependencies. Its value must be a dictionary mapping addon names to a package requirement string.
• external_dependencies_override, used to precisely control python external dependencies. Its value must be a dictionary with one python key, with value a dictionary mapping python external dependencies to python package requirement strings.
• odoo_version_override, used to specify which Odoo series to use (8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0) in case an addon version does not start with the Odoo series number. Use this only as a last resort, if you have no way to correct the addon version in its manifest.

For instance, if your module requires at least version 10.0.3.2.0 of the connector addon, as well as at least version 0.5.5 of py-Asterisk, your setup.py would look like this:

import setuptools

setuptools.setup(
    setup_requires=['setuptools-odoo'],
    odoo_addon={
        'depends_override': {
            'connector': 'odoo10-addon-connector>=10.0.3.2.0',
        },
        'external_dependencies_override': {
            'python': {
                'Asterisk': 'py-Asterisk>=0.5.5',
            },
        },
    },
)

Since reusable addons are generally not structured using the namespace package but instead collected in a directory with each subdirectory containing an addon, this package provides the setuptools-odoo-make-default script which creates a default setup.py for each addon according to the following structure:

# Odoo >= 11
setup/
setup/addon1/
setup/addon1/setup.py
setup/addon1/odoo/
setup/addon1/odoo/addons/
setup/addon1/odoo/addons/<addon1_name> -> ../../../../<addon1_name>

                                    [--commit]

Generate default setup.py for all addons in an Odoo addons directory

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --addons-dir ADDONS_DIR, -d ADDONS_DIR
  --force, -f
  --odoo-version-override ODOO_VERSION_OVERRIDE
                        Force Odoo version for situations where some addons
                        versions do not start with the odoo version.
  --metapackage METAPACKAGE, -m METAPACKAGE
                        Create a metapackage using the given name. This
                        package depends on all installable addons in
                        ADDONS_DIR.
  --clean, -c           Clean the setup directory: remove setups of
                        uninstallable addons, remove files corresponding to
                        other Odoo versions, remove metapackage setup if there
                        are no installable addons.
  --commit              Git commit changes, if any.

setuptools-odoo-make-default is also available as a pre-commit hook. To use it, you can add such an entry in your `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/acsone/setuptools-odoo
    rev: 2.5.2
    hooks:
      - id: setuptools-odoo-make-default

setuptools-odoo does its best to detect if an addon has changed compared to the version indicated in it's manifest. To this end it explores the git log of the addon subtree.

If the last change to the addon corresponds to the version number in the manifest, it is used as is for the python package version. Otherwise a counter is incremented for each commit and the resulting version number has the following form: [81012|13].0.x.y.z.99.devN, N being the number of git commits since the version change.

This scheme is compliant with the accepted python versioning scheme documented in PEP 440.

The 99 suffix is there to make sure it is considered as posterior to x.y.z. (.postN is ignored by pip, as specified in PEP 440, and x.y.z.devN is considered anterior to x.y.z.).

The setuptools_odoo package exposes a provisional public API.

• get_addon_metadata(addon_dir, ...) returns an email.message.Message compliant with PEP 566 -- Metadata for Python Software Packages 2.1.

Many thanks to Daniel Reis who cleared the path, and Laurent Mignon who convinced me it was possible to do it using standard Python setup tools and had the idea of the odoo_addons namespace package.
