This is less stict than that. It is not prooven that using "import trytond" makes this work a derivative work of Tryton. An interresting reading is [1] which points many interpretation issues. So for me, the only valid point to know if GPL should apply or not to a module is if it is a derivative work of GPL code. And we can not say more than that without having a precise case.
