Odoo 19 New updates of Python Class

This is going to be an exciting news for the Odoo developers. Odoo 19 which will officially announced next year, has started its journey.

Odoo19 is here, bringing exciting innovations and powerful features for businesses to manage their operations. As one of the most comprehensive and user-friendly enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms, Odoo is continuously evolving, offering different tools to organizations and industries of all sizes.

In this blog, we will explore its latest update on the Python class name and the differences between the old style and the upcoming new style.

The latest update for odoo19 is about the Python class name. It is going to be similar to the odoo model.

Let me tell you about this through an example:

Old style:

class SaleOrder(models.Model):

_name = 'sale.order'

New style:

class SaleOrder(models.Model): pass

Old style with _inherit:

class CustomSaleOrder(models.Model):

_inherit = 'sale.order'

New style with _inherit:

class CustomSaleOrder(models.Model):

_inherit = ['sale. order']

Like this, the attribute _name from model classes has been removed, which is this update’s main purpose. This will help the code to have more consistent class naming to make the code much easier and helpful for the process of making the code more Python-based.

The Key changes in the code:

1. Removal of _name attribute

The _name attribute is removed, except in cases where the model name cannot be directly derived from the class name.

• Updation of _inherit attribute

The _inherit attribute will no longer be a fallback for the model name. It will be in list format.

• Discovering the use of underscores

Underscores were previously used in model names, but they are now being avoided to keep things cleaner and more consistent.

Example of the new convention:

Benefits of the New Convention

1. Consistency

All model names are automatically aligned with class names, reducing ambiguity and errors.

• Simplicity

The elimination of _name reduces boilerplate code and makes model definitions cleaner

• Pythonic Design

The naming convention adheres to Python’s widely accepted style guidelines.
