Feasability to replace sao (js) by python for web client

[plaes (Priit Laes)]

A while ago I actually tried to address this by creating a build-target to create distributable zip file for deploying sao. Unfortunately I was met again with resistance…

But patch is still available here: Issue 7046: Add build-zip task for creating distributable archive - Tryton issue tracker

The link I provided has it. They’re using a more standard methodology instead of vendoring the libs like they used to do.

for me, they are still vendoring external libraries: odoo/tree/12.0/addons/web/static/lib

That’s quite interesting indeed. But you have to learn a new language and it used JVM which can also be a pain in the back because of different versions.

I’m not sure what you mean about the JVM. Of course there is a new language involved but it doesn’t require JVM to run.
