Odoo documentation sources
![]() I removed the dot notation in the "_name" variable for the example
model. AKA, "test.model" is now named "test_model".
Dot notation implies a data structure relationship between a <model> and
it's parent (or class etc) <test> (like test.model() or Test.model).
There is no relationship like this between a <test> and <model> - it's
just one thing: a <test model>.
The seeming "benefit" of the ORM translating dots to underscores doesn't
justify this naming convention. Yes, I know it's a string, but still,
this seems confusing for newbies and adds unnecessary complexity (why
name the same thing differently in different places?)
