- Create the file containing Python objects : student_speciality.py
- Create .xml file that download data (views, menu items, data show ...) : student_speciality_view.xml
- Finaly create a file Module start : __init__.py

This file, which must be Python format is responsible for :
- Determine the XML files that will be analyzed during the initialization of the server, and also

class student(osv.osv):
_name = 'student'
_columns = {
'name': fields.char('name',size=30,required=True, help='the name'),

'phone': fields.integer('phone',size=30, help='the phone'),
'level': fields.many2one('specialty','Specialty', help='the Specialty'),
}
student()
class specialty(osv.osv):
_name = 'specialty'
_columns = {
'name': fields.char('Name specialty',size=50,required=True, help='the name specialty'),
'level': fields.char('Level',size=50, help='the level'),
}
specialty()
