# convert Odoo csv files in xml files
# csv is easy to maintain but xml data have noupdate feature

# Limitations:
# - relation field One2many is NOT supported
# - csv should have 'id' as first column
# - ambiguous columns: char type but contains float string,
#   should have special suffix on column name '|char'
# - relationnal fields notation in csv should be:
#   myfield_id/id for m2o or myfield_ids/id for m2m

# v0.9
