Tryton is athree-tier high-level general purposecomputer application platform on top of which is built anenterprise resource planning (ERP) business solution through a set of Tryton modules.The three-tier architecture consists of the Tryton client, the Tryton server and thedatabase management system (mainlyPostgreSQL).
The platform, along with the official modules, arefree software, licensed under theGPL-3.0-or-later license.[2]
The official modules provide a coverage of the following functional fields:[3]
Full documentation of the modules and functionalities is available at the official documentation site.[4]
The client and the server applications are written in Python, the client usesGTK+ as graphical toolkit. Both are available onLinux,OS X, andWindows.[5] A web client also exists written inJavaScript usingjQuery andBootstrap and is named sao.
The kernel provides the technical foundations needed by most business applications. However it is not linked to any particular functional field hence constituting a general purpose framework:[6]
Being a framework, Tryton can be used as a platform for the development of various other solutions than just business ERPs. A very prominent example isGNU Health, afree Health and Hospital Information System based on Tryton.
Tryton's origin is afork of the version 4.2 of TinyERP (which was later called OpenERP and now renamedOdoo). The first version was published in November 2008.[7][8][9]
In contrast to their parent project and other open-source business software, the Tryton founders avoided creating a partner network, which tends to generate opposition and duality between the partners and the community of volunteers. They followed the PostgreSQL example where the project is driven by a federation of companies.[10] As of August 2015, Tryton is supported by 17 of such companies, which are distributed globally as follows: France 3, Spain 3, Colombia 2, Germany, 2, Argentina 1, Australia 1, Belgium 1, Brazil 1, India 1, Mexico 1, Switzerland 1.
As of December 2012, the project is backed byTryton, aBelgianprivate foundation pursuing a disinterested purpose. The foundation's missions are:[11]
The release process is organised around series. A series is a set of releases with the same two first numbers (e.g. 1.0 or 1.2) that shares the same API and the same database scheme. A new series appears every six months and new versions in older release are introduced when bugfixes are available.[12] The series are maintained for 1 year and every five series is aLong-term support of 5 years.
The name Tryton refers toTriton, a mythological Greek god (son ofPoseidon, god of the sea, andAmphitrite, goddess of the sea) andPython, the implementation language.
