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. The recommended solution would be to write a reasonable migration on the application level based on your current data... -aj pgpKqUCOBca3Y.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 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 )
