Python is in turn built on C, and likely a bunch of GNU stuff...

For people looking for it, OpenERP is now called Odoo: https://www.odoo.com/ https://www.odoo.com/ We've been doing projects based on it for the past few years, and it's pretty good as a platform, despite a few shortcomings. But the best part is using PostgreSQL as the data store!

  Is there any good introduction to using / working with it? I tried to check it out once, a year or two ago, and I couldn't figure out how to bite it.

    If you just want to try it out, I recommend the online demo[1], plus the official user documentation[2]. If you want to develop modules on top of it, there's technical documentation[3], which also explains how to install it locally. A tip: visit the Settings menu, and then on the Implementation widget, you have a few step-by-step wizards for setting up the database. There also two PacktPub books, one for functional learning[4], and another for development[5], but although the latter was written by a colleague, I've never read either, as they came too late :) [1] https://demo.odoo.com/ https://demo.odoo.com/ [2] https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/ https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/9.0/ [3] https://www.odoo.com/documentation/9.0/index.html https://www.odoo.com/documentation/9.0/index.html [4] https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/working-odoo https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/...

        No problem. Feel free to email me at hn@andreparames.com if you have any questions or problems, I can't say I have all the answers, but I might be able to help :)
