how to convert string into object in python odoo

Question

I have 2 methods in method1:

def print_xls(self):
    record = self.env['sale.order'].search([('id','in',filtered_list)])
    data = {
        
        'model_recs':record
    }
    return self.env.ref('module_name.report_name').report_action(self, data=data)

in method 2:

def generate_xlsx_report(self, workbook, data, lines):
    h1 = workbook.add_format({'font_size': 16, 'align': 'center', 'align':'center','valign':'vcenter', 'bold': True,'underline':True})
    sheet = workbook.add_worksheet('sale dept')
    sheet.merge_range(1, 0, 3, 17,"Sale Report",h1)
    print(data['model_recs'])

I am getting data['model_recs'] = 'sale.order(1,2,3)'

My question is how to convert the string model 'sale.order(1,2,3)' into Model/object sale.order(1,2,3), so the i can get it's field data like sale.order[0].some_field in second method.

There is something missing here. You flll `data` in the first part, but don't use it in the second. Can you add that please? — CZoellner, Jul 30 '21 at 08:15
That should be normal recordsets (objects), but the string representation is like you're saying. Did you try to loop on them? — CZoellner, Jul 30 '21 at 09:55
@CZoellner cannot loop over string 'sale.order(1,2,3)'. that's why I want to convert that string into record set/model. — user10810227, Jul 30 '21 at 10:19

You can use eval("sale.order(1,2,3)")

>>> eval("str(1)")
'1'
>>> eval("type(str(1))")
<class 'str'>

>>> class x:
...     def gg(self, x, y, z):
...             print(x, y, z)
... 
>>> eval('x().gg(1,2,3)')
1 2 3

While it is very powerful method it is also worthwhile to note problems with eval eval_problems
