Yeah. And sometimes XML just gets in the way - namely, when you are dealing with blobs. The issue of human-readable exported data is orthogonal to the issue of backing up or transporting your data. Certainly worthwhile, but don't underestimate the value of plain old pickles. I don't know if anybody actually uses the XML option for exporting / importing Zope 2 data - I always use the default pickle format. It works fine and is more efficient. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
