I am writing a script that can be used to export (and eventually

but is not part of a Plone site since it is a script outside of Plone.
First: why are you trying to reinvent wheels? There is for example
ArcheCSV for importing content into Plone using CSV.
There is GSXML for exporting/importing content based on XML. I blogged a
while ago using an ini-file approach for doing
content migrations..
Second: personally I would not care much about tests for this particular
use case because such test will never
replace any real tests with real software when it comes to import those
later into other systems. Takes three different
spreadsheet application and all will behave slightly differently.....

I won't worry about the tests in that case. I would still like an
outside of Plone content import/export. That's just my personal
preference. Plus this type of import/export was a use case that came up
in a few discussions I had at the Plone Symposium East 09. But I can
see your point... so I'll look into GSXML. Thanks for the reply.
