If I understand this correctly, the pickles would then be compatible between 2.6 and 2.5, unless you did from __future__ import renamed_modules, which would make the pickles compatible between 2.6 and 3.0. This sounds like the best solution to me, especially if the old names are still available after the future import, as all that would then be needed it to repickle all the pickles to convert from 2.5 to 3.0 pickles, right? So, if I understood this correctly, that sounds like a perfect solution. :) -- Lennart Regebro: Zope and Plone consulting. http://www.colliberty.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
