Hello,

Try "cd /path/to/odoo && pip install ."
You will then be able to "import odoo"

Thanks
Daniel

Hi Guys, today we are asking for your insightfullness.
Our quest:  how the python code of odoo can be automatically documented from the code itself. 

But the approach with the various toos that there are fails:  

We have tested: 

  • pdoc, a simple Python 3 command line tool and library to auto-generate API documentation for Python modules. Supports Numpydoc / Google-style docstrings, doctests, reST directives, PEP 484 type annotations, custom templates ...

  • pdoc3, a fork of pdoc for Python 3 with support for Numpydoc / Google-style docstrings, doctests, LaTeX math, reST directives, PEP 484 type annotations, custom templates ...

  • PyDoc, a documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual. Also in the standard library as pydoc.

  • pydoctor, a replacement for now inactive Epydoc, born for the needs of Twisted project.

and all of them fail.  It has to do that odoo as such is not a python module itself and thus cannot be imported. 

problem in models/res_company.py - <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named odoo

If anyone has some experience, ideas, or pointer towards a solution, it would be highly appreaciated. 

Best, Joe
