  </data>
</odoo>

and what i need is get data from python function put in this line

"data": json_string

Answer 2

You can achieve this with two approaches at least that I know of:

Step 1:
You create a class inheriting from odoo's Abstract model and give it a name with the given exact notation.

The template name stands for the actual template_id and not the report_id. The function has to be defined as it is with the @api.model decoration in place.

The function then returns the data you computed and will be passed to the template above.

The returned object can be accessed as it is in the template that is something like <t t-foreach="some_variable" as "o"> ...

from odoo import models, api


class DataRock(models.AbstractModel):
    _name = 'report.module_name.template_name'
    _description = 'Normal description'

    @api.model
    def _get_report_values(self, docids, data=None):
        #the docs will be the open form in the select model
        docs = self.env['model.to.attach'].browse(docids[0])
        
        other_data_structure = ...
        some_variable = ...        

        return {
            'docs': docs,
            'some_variable': some_variable,
            'other_data_structure': other_data_structure,
        }

Check this link for official docs qweb

Step 2: The example below is from an answer in odoo forum at here

The return statement should be like this: arguments passed in the report_action(args) are the data you want to access from the qweb.

return self.env.ref('module_name.report_definition_id').report_action(employees, data=datas)

Notice the report_definition_id and not the template_id

@api.multi
def print_report(self):
    self.ensure_one()
    [data] = self.read()
    data['emp'] = self.env.context.get('active_ids', [])
    employees = self.env['hr.employee'].browse(data['emp'])
    datas = {
        'ids': [],
        'model': 'hr.employee',
        'form': data
    }
    return self.env.ref('hr_holidays.action_report_holidayssummary').report_action(employees, data=datas)
