The change would be OK by me, but would require actual work. For example,
Connection.root() is currently:
def root(self):
"""Return the database root object."""
return self.get(z64)
where:
from ZODB.utils import ... z64 ...
and, in utils.py:
z64 = '\0'*8
Do you have an up-to-date contributor agreement on file ;-)?
