# Check available databases
print(oerp.db.list())

# Login (the object returned is a browsable record)
user = oerp.login('user', 'passwd', 'db_name')
print(user.name)            # name of the user connected
print(user.company_id.name) # the name of its company

# Simple 'raw' query
user_data = oerp.execute('res.users', 'read', user.id)
print(user_data)

# Use all methods of an OSV class
order_obj = oerp.get('sale.order')
order_ids = order_obj.search([])
for order in order_obj.browse(order_ids):
    print(order.name)
    products = [line.product_id.name for line in order.order_line]
