Odoo api.model from Odoo documentation, what is `model.env`?

I am trying to define a method @api.model:

@api.model
def test(param1, param2):
    print model.env['product.template'].search([("company_id", "=", param1), ("warehouse_id", "=", param2), ])

Question is, official documentation states that you can use model.env but when I try to do it I get:

NameError: global name 'model' is not defined

which is the right import to use to get model available?

What is meant by model is that you need a model object (empty recordset) to be able to access env. In the new API, self will be a recordset, so you can access the environment via self.env:

@api.model
def test(self, param1, param2):
    print self.env['product.template'].search([("company_id", "=", param1), ("warehouse_id", "=", param2), ])

Note that the method should be defined on a model class (in your snippet, the test method signature is missing self parameter).

On a related note, the link you have provided is not from the official documentation and is outdated - it was written in the period of initial migration from the old API to the new API between OpenERP 7.0 and Odoo 8.0, so it is not the best source. I would suggest to refer to the offical documentation available on Odoo.com.
