py3o reporting engine
I worked on the py3o reporting engine last week (modules report_py3o and report_py3o_fusion_server from https://github.com/OCA/reporting-engine), and managed to implement a new version of report_py3o_fusion_server that works with a direct link between Odoo and libreoffice running as a daemon via the UNO interface. This implementation by-passes py3o-fusion and py3o-renderserver, which are 2 deprecated software components that are still in python2. I have already deployed it in production on 2 odoo servers. The limitation of this implementation is that it only works when libreoffice is running on the same server as Odoo (running as daemon in headless mode) whereas py3o-fusion and py3o-renderserver allowed to have libreoffice running on another server than Odoo.
It is available as a draft pull request here :
On this draft PR, I have detailed my ideas for the future of the report_py3o* modules, and how we could implement a solution that allows to have libreoffice running on another server than Odoo. If you are using report_py3o and feel concerned about the future of this project, please come on this draft pull request to read my ideas for the future and give your opinion about it !
