Hi,

Does anyone have a good approach to changing the class of an object already stored in the ZODB?

A site is using classes defined and customised in a product on the filesystem, and I want to split the product into two to separate the unmodified vanilla product, and customisations. I found a script from shane when I googled which purported to do this, but I did not understand exactly what it did and so am a bit nervous of using it. Also, it appeared to do it all in one transaction, which would not be practical for this site (too many objects).

I had originally been envisaging doing something in __getstate__ for these objects, so when they were retrieved, they were updated and marked as having been changed so they would be committed at the end of the transaction. But I don't really know exactly what!

I don't think it will work to use module_aliases because there will still be a class that can be imported from the original location.

Any help much appreciated,

Miles
