PyVELM

Odoo's semantics. Laravel's ergonomics. Filament's craft — in a Tailwind-native ERP shell that exists only here.

PyVELM is a declarative Python ERP on SQLAlchemy-backed databases (PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, and other supported dialects): recordsets and modules in the Odoo tradition, developer and admin patterns borrowed from Laravel and Filament, and a bespoke Tailwind v4 + HTMX interface—its own layout, widgets, and look & feel—not Odoo's web client or Filament's Blade stack.

Backend matrix and DSN examples: docs/multi-database.md.

Latest: v1.4.6 — Filament-style schema field reactivity on forms. See the docs (version picker for older releases).

Full documentation: coolsam726.github.io/pyvelm

The framework is PyVELM; the PyPI package and CLI stay pyvelm (lowercase).

Sponsor

Open-source business-app tooling maintained by Sam Maosa. Sponsor on GitHub supports all of these projects—not just PyVELM.

	Project
This repo	PyVELM — declarative Python ERP
1	filament-modules — Filament + nWidart/laravel-modules
2	flatpickr — Flatpickr date picking for Filament
3	nested-comments — nested comments on Filament forms & pages
4	typeorm-pagination — pagination for Express + TypeORM
5	filament-signature-pad — signature field for Filament forms

Same craft across stacks: admin UX that feels intentional, released in the open with docs and tests. If any of this saves you a sprint, sponsorship keeps it sustainable.
