A Simple Connection

from odoo_rpc_helper import OdooRPCHelper

DB = "test"  # Set this to your database name
USERNAME = "admin"  # Set this to a real username on the DB
PASSWORD = "admin"  # Set this to the password for user above
URL = "http://localhost:8069"  # Set this to the server URL

odoo = OdooRPCHelper(DB, USERNAME, PASSWORD, URL)

partner_id = odoo.create("res.partner", {"name": "Test Partner"})[0]
odoo.write("res.partner", [partner_id], {"phone": "[phone]"})
partner = odoo.search_read(
  "res.partner",
  [['id', '=', partner_id]],
  ['name', 'phone']
)[0]
print(f"We have a partner with ID {partner['id']} named {partner['name']} "
      f" with phone {partner['phone']}")
odoo.unlink("res.partner", [partner_id])
