Odoo Module Encryption Tool
 
        Background and Introduction
In Odoo development, encryption is often necessary, especially for product-type modules. For project-type modules, this is less of a concern. The main issues are:
- How to provide trial versions without encryption
- What to do if clients don't pay after online deployment
- How to distribute at low prices without encryption (open source is not suitable for low-price distribution)
 
            Odoo Encryption Tool Interface
The core principle is to convert Python code to C++ code, then compile the cpp into a whl package. The whl package consists of dll or so files. This way, users receive the final module as binary files, effectively limiting code leakage.
Tool Features
- Convenient Operation: Simply select the directory to encrypt
- Flexible: Each file can be chosen to encrypt or not. In most cases, hiding core content is sufficient. Over-encryption can cause inconvenience for team collaboration
Usage Steps
- Select the source module directory
- Select the target directory (where the final output will be generated)
- Click encrypt - the program will encrypt the module and generate two outputs: an encrypted Odoo module and a whl package project
The original module code will be replaced. Files that don't need encryption can be manually restored, providing sufficient flexibility.
As shown in the image, the final code calls library functions. The generated cpp code is also shown in the image.
After module generation, it still needs to be compiled into a whl package. Enter the whl project directory and run:
python setup.py bdist_wheel
        
        
        
            Generate the wheel package. Note that pybind11 needs to be installed via the command: pip install pybind11. The final generated package can then be copied to the client machine for installation.
        
            However, due to different operating systems and Python versions, compiling this way becomes very cumbersome. Therefore, the generated project supports CI compilation, which can generate packages for different platforms and Python versions, and automatically push them to PyPI. Users can then directly install with pip install ylhc_reading_base, making it nearly seamless for users with excellent platform compatibility.
