The __openerp__.py file is the OpenERP descriptor which contains a single Python dictionary with the actual declaration of Module. It is necessary file for an openerp module. All the details, dependencies, files used etc are specified here in the __openerp__.py file. Here is Python dictionary key description

The openep.py file is like the setup.py file in Python modules. You need it in every module
