I'd like to make 3 main changes to the way CMFSetup handles workflow
export/import:

Please note that all other tool handlers use utils.*ConfiguratorBase. I didn't convert workflow.py because it is the biggest handler and it works for me as it is. But it uses deprecated patterns, so if you plan to improve it it might be worth to refactor it using *ConfiguratorBase.

- turn import methods in CMFSetup/workflow.py into configurator class
methods so that they're easier to override when subclassing
(_extract*Nodes and _initDCWorkflow* methods)

Sounds fine if you don't want to do the big refactoring.

- get rid of DCWorkflow specifics, and use the workflow factory and
API methods to import a workflow (no need to import
DCWorkflowDefinition, State, Transition classes anymore, for instance)

I didn't have a look at the details. But I'm afraid we would loose some flexibility. Other import handlers allow fine-grained changes to existing setups.

- do not list workflows that are not supported when exporting (not
supported workflows are listed but not exported at the moment)

You mean workflows without CMFSetup supported? i.e. CMFDefault DefaultWorkflow? Why shouldn't they be listed?


Cheers,
