Open ERP on Ubuntu 9.04 - HL7

I really regret that Open ERP is made with Python. The best language is the one you use and I will not spend a minute comparing the benefit of one against another... but I strictly believe that the Python packaging is a mess and I regret the JVM, Jar files and custom loading... With Python, good extensions are in binary compiled format and change between platforms, os and python versions.

At this stage Open ERP does not install easily on Ubuntu 9.04. That's because the repository does not include all the packages needed to make it running on the default Python 2.6. The solution in the attach link is to install Python 2.5 then ensure that the Open ERP server will run on 2.5 :

So I continue testing and prepare demo systems...

Today I subscribed to HL7.org. This organization edits a messaging standard to interconnect IT system in the context of an hospital network. We plan to develop an interface to our home-made medical files application so we would grab administrative data from the hospital servers...
