[FIX] namespace packages: move from pkg_resources-style to pkg_util

2017-09-18T14:05:31+00:00

Deprecates the previous pkg_resources-style packages. Our use was
not entirely spec compliant, and it broke with setuptools 31.
More information in https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/15718

Instead, use the pkgutil-style namespace packages.
This is spec compliant as long as all other distributions providing
odoo.addons use PEP 420 namespace packages (i.e. no __init__.py).
So this mechanism fully works on Python 3 only, but does not break
anything on Python 2.

[FIX] odoo-bin: server UTC timezone on windows

2017-01-06T13:19:09+00:00

On UNIX, the timezone modules conversions can be reset by using
`time.tzset()`. On windows this is not available and the timezone (TZ)
environment variable must be set before the first import of time module.

If not, all datetime gotten in python without specifying UTC (such as
datetime.datetime.now) could be wrong.

This was fixed with 4a77c6a0 in 2013, but has come back since 389c2ba97b
imported pkg_resources (which do  a `time` module import) before that.

[REF] packaging: make odoo a namespaced package

2016-09-30T10:05:49+00:00

by auto-extending addons path with odoo.addons.__path__.

This patch also introduce
  * an explicit declaration of odoo.addons as a namespace package
    This is necessary because the standard way of declaring namespace
    packages in setup.py does not work as long as odoo/__init__.py
    contains code.
  * a more reliable way to find odoo root path.

[REF] cli: renamed openerp-server to odoo-bin

2016-09-30T10:05:49+00:00

The use of an entry point was considered in order to provide
an `odoo` command in the path for the packages users, but the
generated entry point will first check that all the things in
install_requires were provided in a not bright way: it'll check
that it matches a distribution name. This does not work because
python-chart does not have the distrubtion name "pychart" which
is provided by the python-pychart package in debian jessie. Same
for suds-jurko which is provided by python-suds in debian stretch
but does not have the distribution name "suds".

Also, adapted the  packages tests to these cli changes.
