manifestoo-core

What it is and what it does

Manifestoo Core is a library for working with Odoo addon manifests—the metadata files that define Odoo extensions. It provides utilities to detect which Odoo series (version line) an addon targets based on its version string, access information about core Odoo Community and Enterprise addons for each Odoo version, and convert Odoo manifest metadata into standard Python packaging format. This is useful for tools that need to analyze, validate, or process Odoo addons programmatically.

The library depends on three standard packages: importlib-resources for resource access, packaging for version handling, and typing-extensions for type hints. It's actively maintained and has been in development since 2022. The documentation warns that undocumented parts of the API may change without notice.

Use it for:

• Detect the target Odoo version from an addon's version string in CI/CD pipelines.
• Build tools that need to validate Odoo addon manifests against Odoo version specifications.
• Convert Odoo addon metadata to standard Python package metadata for distribution.
• Query which addons are part of core Odoo for a given version.
• Analyze addon dependencies and compatibility across Odoo versions.

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Parses and reasons about Odoo addon manifests, detecting Odoo series from addon versions and converting manifest metadata to Python packaging format.

Yes, if you work with Odoo addons and need programmatic access to manifest parsing and version detection. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. The narrow focus on Odoo-specific tasks means it's only relevant for Odoo development workflows.

Install

manifestoo-core on PyPI

pip install manifestoo-core

uv add manifestoo-core

poetry add manifestoo-core

Installing manifestoo-core

Before you install

Low friction install with three lightweight runtime dependencies (importlib-resources, packaging, typing-extensions). Active maintenance with a release 40 days ago and recent commits.

License in practice

MIT license (permissive) means you can use, modify, and distribute this package freely with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install manifestoo-core

from manifestoo_core import detect_odoo_series

series = detect_odoo_series('14.0.1.0.0')

Requires Python 3.7 or later.

Verify before relying

• Whether the library handles all Odoo versions or has version-specific limitations.
• Performance characteristics when processing large numbers of addon manifests.
• Whether conversion to Python packaging metadata preserves all Odoo-specific metadata fields.
