I then detected the fascades in io.py which I tried to use (dunno if they're thought to be used for such a purpose actually ;-):
root_mapper, conns = createMapper(fspath) ei=ExportImport(root_mapper,conns) ei.exportObject(object)
This is *exactly* the purpose ExportImport is meant for, but it's quite new and unfinished. I'm glad you found it, although it's only in CVS, not in the released version of Ape.
Unfortunately this results in an exception
Type: MappingError Error Value: Path keychains require a name
So can maybe somebody point me to the easiest way to serialize an object using the fsmapper (Shane? ;-) ?
You're on the right track. I wonder what went wrong.
I am also interested in reading a serialized object from the fs again and writing it to the fs. Also I wonder if I need to delete objects which have been modified before another export or if there's a possibility to just change it).
Ape will assign new OIDs on import, so you don't have to delete objects first.
(and the best would be of course some simple methods for reading/writing a whole directory recursively. I don't know if something like this is already in there somehow or how it works internally.. seems all a bit magic to me ;-)
Again, ExportImport is designed to do this.
