Hi Jean-Michel,

There is an item on the todo list to create some more advanced data 
management tools for pgAmdin. Andreas & I have discussed 
     

this briefly 
   

and felt it would be a separate program to pgAdmin (though 
packaged/distributed together) along the line of SQL Server's DTS.

I would like to allow some sort of source and target plugins with a 
mapping/scriptable transformation service in between, perhaps using 
embedded Python or Perl.

     

Since we could use wxPython, this is first choice. I feel 
that we should have the python scripting engine implemented 
in pgAdmin3 quite soon; I've put in on the TODO list.
   

Currently I'd love to do the same, I'm just having a hard job figuring
out what to use it for!
 

It's not for us, more for folks out there that want to contribute some 
fancy stuff.
IMHO we could provide some python objects, representing pgAdmin objects 
(pgObject, frmMain) so a plugin could extend the tree seamlessly.

Regards,
Andreas
