But, be mindful of the possibility of using the new remote_api to create such updated counters, rather than "cron", if it's a one-time change.
With a few extra lines of Python and a machine with enough time to run the updates, out-of-date data structures can be brought up to date without having to perform the hijinks of incremental updates on the live site. For instance, with my deepFetch routine (see the Cookbook entry here: http://is.gd/kChr), it's just matter of writing the usual "for x in deepFetch(queryFun):" routine to iterate through and update all data structures. -Bryan On Feb 23, 7:54 pm, "Sebastian E.
