XML-RPC is very useful in openerp. The XML-RPC protocol communicate to server and clients. XML-RPC is a very simple protocol which allows the client to do remote procedure calls. The called function, its arguments, and the result of the call are transported using HTTP and encoded using XML.

EXAMPLE- Access server using XML-RPC in Odoo-8 to create partner and their address to use this code in openerp.

import xmlrpclib

username = 'admin' #the user
pwd = 'admin'      #the password of the user
dbname = 'YOUR_DB'    #the database

# Get the uid
sock_common = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy ('http://localhost:8069/xmlrpc/common')
uid = sock_95;common.login(dbname, username, pwd)

#replace localhost with the address of the server
sock = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8069/xmlrpc/object')

partner = {
   'name': 'Fabien Pinckaers',
   'lang': 'fr_FR',
}

partner_id = sock.execute(dbname, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'create', partner)

address = {
   'partner_id': partner_id,
   'type' : 'default',
   'street': 'abc',
   'zip': '9876',
   'city': 'Greenland',
   'phone': '+987654321',
}

address_id = sock.execute(dbname, uid, pwd, 'res.partner.address', 'create', address)
