[Grok-dev] Exporting Apps

[Sebastian Ware]

Currently there is no simple export feature. You have to write your  
export and import code yourself. It is a bit tricky because you have  
to serialise relations, handle annotations etc. you can't just pickle  
the root object because you get circular references through the  
context.__parent__ attribute. You also want the registration machinery  
to kick in properly, so you probably want to recreate your objects and  
manipulate them in a similar way to how they were originally created.  
When you recreate the object structure you also have an issue with the  
fact that containers aren't ready to accept content until somewhere  
around the ObjectCreation-event. You have to update the containers in  
a "two-way commit".

That said, it can be done, and it is bloody useful.
