This commit replaces calls to pycompat helpers that were intended for
python 2 <-> python 3 interoperability for python 3 builtins, as python
2 is no longer officially supported by Odoo.
This includes:
* calls to imap/izip/ifilter replaced by map/zip/filter
* uses of text_type replaced by str
* uses of unichr replaced by chr
* calls to implements_to_string, implements_iterator removed
* string_types and integer_types replaced by str, int respectively
* calls to to_native replaced by calls to to_text
This is done in preparation to the removal of these deprecated helpers
in the following commit.
The adaptation to Python 3 was done with two mistakes: the iteration on the lru
cache does not return keys, and functions are not sortable.
closesodoo/odoo#28870
Returning a recordset from a cached method will raise an
`psycopg2.OperationalError` once the cursor is closed.
Add documentation to `ormcache` method indicating such
See OCA/stock-logistics-barcode#93 and #8795 for example of issues
Closes#19113
Now that we're closer to switching to P3 for good, these helpers have
outlived their usefulness, and mostly add noise.
All remaining dict.iter*() or dict.view*() must be converted to the
normal keys(), values() or items() calls.
Whenever the result is likely to be used for more than the scope of a
loop, or when the dict needs to be modified during iteration, the calls
must be wrapped in a ``list()``, to protect the new P3 semantics.
Those cases are very exceptional.
Also removed some dead code or improved the API to remove unnecessary
conversions.
* remove references to basestring & unicode (use relevant pycompat
helpers)
* remove some str calls (either entirely or replaced by relevant
helper, either text or native)
* use better API to avoid unnecessary conversions
* remove some XML declarations in views
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
Problem: the update of custom models/fields is not fully transactional, and may
potentially lead to an inconsistent database. An other problem is creating two
custom fields by writing on a model: if the second one fails, the first one has
been committed without notice. Retrying the request will give an unexpected
error (duplicate field name).
Solution: never commit in the middle of a request. If the changes have an
impact on the registry, then mark it as invalid (with a new flag), and signal
registry invalidation after everything has been committed. If the request
fails, reset the registry. Both registry and cache invalidation are handled
the same way.
Introspection attributes on function and methods were originally
prefixed with func_ or im_ e.g. im_class or func_name. For coherence with the
rest of the data model, Python 3 added dunder attributes (__func__,
__code__) and removed the old style, the dunder attributes were
backported to Python 2.6.
Use dunder attributes everywhere we're currently using func_* or im_*
attributes.
