* 打开XML-RPC 连接
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> srv, db = 'http://localhost:8069', 'v8dev'
>>> user, pwd = 'admin', 'admin'
>>> common = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('%s/xmlrpc/2/common' % srv)
>>> common.version()
{'server_version_info': [8, 0, 0, 'final', 0], 'server_serie':
'8.0', 'server_version': '8.0', 'protocol_version': 1}
依赖 xmlrpclib 
#验证
>>> uid = common.authenticate(db, user, pwd, {})
>>> print uid
#取数据
>>> api = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('%s/xmlrpc/2/object' % srv)

>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'search_count', [[]])
得到记录集的总数
>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'search',
[[('country_id', '=', 'be'), ('parent_id', '!=', False)]])
[43, 42]
得到记录集的id序列
>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'read', [[43]],
{'fields': ['id', 'name', 'parent_id']})
[{'parent_id': [7, 'Agrolait'], 'id': 43, 'name': 'Michel
Fletcher'}]
得到记录
>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'search_read',
[[('country_id', '=', 'be'), ('parent_id', '!=', False)]],
{'fields': ['id', 'name', 'parent_id']})
#其它方法
>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'create', [{'name':
'Packt'}])
75
>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'write', [[75],
{'name': 'Packt Pub'}])
True
>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'read', [[75], ['id',
'name']])
[{'id': 75, 'name': 'Packt Pub'}]
>>> api.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'unlink', [[75]])
True

* ERPpeek 
首先要安装 erppeek
$ pip install -U erppeek
#API 用法：
>>> import erppeek
>>> api = erppeek.Client('http://localhost:8069', 'v8dev',
'admin', 'admin')
>>> api.common.version()
>>> api.count('res.partner', [])
>>> api.search('res.partner', [('country_id', '=', 'be'),
('parent_id', '!=', False)])
>>> api.read('res.partner', [43], ['id', 'name', 'parent_id'])
>>> m = api.model('res.partner')
>>> m = api.ResPartner
>>> m.count([('name', 'like', 'Packt%')]) 返回是数量
>>> m.search([('name', 'like', 'Packt%')]) 返回是id
>>> recs = m.browse([('name', 'like', 'Packt%')]) 返回是记录对象
