Hmm, is this where the assumption I suspected is made? :-) 

AFAICT the ZODB has no concept of `folders', does it? I thought folders
and paths were just a semantic given by us to hierarchies of
PersistentMappings. At least I see no reference to `folders' in the ZODB
source code.

So how does the path mechanism work? It tries to index the
PersistentMapping by using the string as a keys?

Sorry if *I'm* confused - it's just that I have no clear idea of what
folders are, and I've actually used quite a bit of the ZODB.

Did you see my change I sent you? It does exactly that, but using
pprint. I also shortcut some of the loops to avoid nesting.

Take care,
