In ExportImport._importDuringCommit() I found this little gem:
pfile = StringIO(data)
unpickler = Unpickler(pfile)
unpickler.persistent_load = persistent_load
newp = StringIO()
pickler = Pickler(newp, 1)
pickler.persistent_id = persistent_id
pickler.dump(unpickler.load())
pickler.dump(unpickler.load())
data = newp.getvalue()
What's with the two load-and-dump lines near the end?
It is transforming the pickles by assigning new object ids to the
objects imported.
The unpickler unpickles the pickles into an internal format that can
be creates without actually creating the original objects. It
collects object ids and reassigns them. The pickler then turns the
internal data back into pickles with the new object ids.
This is done in 2 steps because database records consist of 2
pickles. The first has enough information to create a ghost. The
second pickle contains the object state.
