Registered by

API to interact with the "physical" representation of an OpenERP addon (its on-disk form and state, not its existence in the OpenERP database, though the API defined thereafter could be extended for such a task later on).

xrg: Well written.
2011-06: There has been a little movement in this direction. After the initial "API docs" experiments, we've thought about documenting the ORM classes off-line. That is, be able to extract the structure (such as model inheritance, columns, views, features) of addons without loading them in a database. However, this would require an "ORM emulation" layer in order to introspect those python files. So, we're pending some decisions whether to allocate work for that, or not.
