In Python 3:
* various builtins and dict methods were changed to return
view/iterable objects rather than lists
* and the separate Python 2 view/iterable builtins and methods were
removed altogether
This is problematic when using these items as list (which the happens
repeatedly in Odoo), but more viciously when iterating *multiple times*
over them (which also happens, which I've messed up multiple times while
writing this, and which is a pain to debug even when you've just created
the issue).
Convert all code using these to semantics-matching cross-version
helper functions to get the LCD behaviour between P2 and P3, and
forbid the builtins via lint.
issue #8530
The use of an entry point was considered in order to provide
an `odoo` command in the path for the packages users, but the
generated entry point will first check that all the things in
install_requires were provided in a not bright way: it'll check
that it matches a distribution name. This does not work because
python-chart does not have the distrubtion name "pychart" which
is provided by the python-pychart package in debian jessie. Same
for suds-jurko which is provided by python-suds in debian stretch
but does not have the distribution name "suds".
Also, adapted the packages tests to these cli changes.
and move it under the setup package. Since the rename of the
openerp directory into odoo, having a script named "odoo.py"
conflicts with a package named "odoo".
