Download reports¶
Another nice functionnality is the reports generation with the
report
property.
The list
method allows you to list
all reports available on your Odoo server (classified by models), while the
download
method will
retrieve a report as a file (in PDF, HTML... depending of the report).
To list available reports:
>>> odoo.report.list()
{u'ir.module.module': [{u'name': u'Technical guide', u'report_type': u'pdf', u'report_name': u'ir.module.reference'}], u'ir.model': [{u'name': u'Model Overview', u'report_type': u'sxw', u'report_name': u'ir.model.overview'}], u'res.partner': [{u'name': u'Labels', u'report_type': u'pdf', u'report_name': u'res.partner'}], u'res.company': [{u'name': u'Preview Report', u'report_type': u'pdf', u'report_name': u'preview.report'}]}
To download a report:
>>> report = odoo.report.download('preview.report', [1])
The method will return a file-like object, you will have to read its content in order to save it on your filesystem:
>>> with open('company_preview_report.pdf', 'w') as report_file:
... report_file.write(report.read())
...
