Fluvo¶

Fluvo gets data into Odoo, fast. A high-performance, Polars-backed ETL toolkit that replaces fragile, manual data prep with declarative, repeatable, configuration-as-code workflows.

Why Fluvo?¶

⚡ Fast at scale — a Polars-backed, multi-threaded engine for importing and exporting large Odoo datasets.
🛟 Imports that don’t lose data — a load → create fallback rescues the good records from a failing batch and writes the rest to a fail file with the exact error, so a few bad rows never sink the whole import.
🔗 No import-order headaches — automatically detects relational and parent/child data and runs a two-pass import, so you don’t have to hand-order your files.
🧩 Configuration-as-code — define transforms as plain Python with a rich mapper library: readable, repeatable, and version-controlled.
🔄 Server-to-server migration — export, transform, and import between two Odoo instances in a single in-memory step.
✅ Clean data before it lands — built-in cleaning and validation catch bad values before they ever reach Odoo.

Installation¶

You can install Fluvo via uv or pip from PyPI:

$ uv pip install fluvo

Quick Usage Example¶

The core workflow involves two simple steps:

1. Transform your source data with a Python script. Create a transform.py file to define the mapping from your source file to Odoo’s format.

# transform.py
from fluvo.lib.transform import Processor
from fluvo.lib import mapper

my_mapping = {
    'id': mapper.m2o('product', 'SKU'),  # external id, e.g. product.A1
    'name': mapper.val('ProductName'),
    'list_price': mapper.num('Price'),
}

processor = Processor(my_mapping, source_filename='origin/products.csv', separator=',')
processor.process('data/products_clean.csv', {'model': 'product.product'})
processor.write_to_file("load.sh")

…

$ python transform.py

2. Load the clean data into Odoo using the CLI. The transform.py script generates a load.sh file containing the correct CLI command.

# Contents of the generated load.sh
fluvo import --connection-file conf/connection.conf --file data/products_clean.csv --model product.product ...

Then execute the script.

$ bash load.sh

When the import command runs, it automatically detects the data structure. If it finds relational data like parent_id fields, it will automatically switch to a robust two-pass strategy to ensure the import succeeds.

Fluvo¶

A robust Python toolkit for high-performance, intelligent Odoo data workflows.

Fluvo is a powerful and flexible library designed to simplify complex data imports and exports with Odoo. It features a smart import engine with automatic error recovery, multi-threading, and a two-pass strategy for relational data, allowing you to manage complex transformations and validations with confidence.

This library is the successor to the odoo-csv-import-export library, refactored for modern development practices and enhanced clarity.
