NameError: global name ‘E’ is not defined

There were still problems with #1059 which took me time to understand. I got an exception NameError: global name 'E' is not defined when trying to print an invoice with a payment_term which has a printed_text, e.g.:

Prepayment <b>30%</b> ({{obj.total_incl*0.3}})
due {{fds(obj.due_date)}},
remaining {{obj.total_incl - obj.total_incl*0.3}}
due 10 days before delivery.

Prepayment <b>30%</b> ({{obj.total_incl*Decimal(‘0.30’)}}) due {{fds(obj.due_date)}}, remaining {{obj.total_incl - obj.total_incl*Decimal(‘0.30’)}} due 10 days before delivery.

>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> price = Decimal('18.00')

>>> print(price * 0.30)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   ...
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'Decimal' and 'float'
>>> print(price * 30 / 100)
5.40

>>> price - price * 30 / 100
Decimal('12.60')

Miscellaneous

Jason S asked for help about how “breadcrumbs” (relbar “parents” list) work, and Komiya answered, and I tried that trick for Developer Guide. I think the breadcrumbs bar (“relbar”) is indeed more intuitive when it includes the current page. For example http://lino-framework.org/dev/install.html

Lino Welfare

The esf_field is now included in the detail of a calendar event type. This is the first use case of a field defined as DummyField on the model and then “overridden” (or rather converted into a real field) if lino_welfare.modlib.esf is installed.

New ESF field type GuestHoursFixed because we realized that they don’t want the number of presences (GuestCount) but a fixed time per presence. For information sessions it is 2 hours per presence, for the other fields it is 1 hour per presence.
