Manager

The product category manager is available as the product_categories attribute on the Odoo client object.

>>> from openstack_odooclient import Client as OdooClient
>>> odoo_client = OdooClient(
...     hostname="localhost",
...     port=8069,
...     protocol="jsonrpc",
...     database="odoodb",
...     user="test-user",
...     password="<password>",
... )
>>> odoo_client.product_categories.get(1234)
ProductCategory(record={'id': 1234, ...}, fields=None)

For more information on how to use managers, refer to Managers.

Record

The product category manager returns ProductCategory record objects.

from openstack_odooclient import ProductCategory

The record class currently implements the following fields and methods.
