The XML generated through export/import is basically an XML representation of the Python pickle. The most straight forward solution would be to write a migration script for your stuff and not to look into pickles...but you can of course follow the pickle road if you like it the hard way :-) -aj You're right, I did not think about XML : thanks for the very good idea ! Possibly my reply wasn't clear enough. The pickle format (binary or XML) appears too low-level in order to write a reasonable migration script.

[Zope] Export format documentation
Hello, I have an export file of objects (that come from a Plone 2.0.5 instance). Unfortunately, the products are not compatible with a newer Plone version. I'm building a new version of this product (but it will be quite different from the initial one). I'm wondering if it is possible to load datas for a zexp file without the old product and then build new instances of my new product. That is why I'd like to know if there is a good documentation concerning the internal structure of zexp files. Thanks in advance Sebastien ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
