Normally what you would do is make sure zope can connect to your mysql db. Then you write something like a catalog query in zope to find all the objects your interested in and you use a zsql method and insert each object into your database. So you need to find the attributes you care about in your zope objects. Usually this is fairly trivial to do 10-20 minutes or so. The whole key is to do it from inside zope not from outside. Since from outside zope you can't really load the objects involved. > It was a simple plone site, with mainly Pages/Documents (the basic > content type).

What do you do with images? files? workflow? document relationships? hierarchy? etc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
