Don't be too sure about this ;-)

Packages/modules/etc are some of the most disappointing areas for me in python. 
They behave inconsistently, and I wouldn't be suprised if there is no way to ask 
python for the fully qualified dot-path of a class from a package relative to 
the python path :-/

Sadly, this is something I think Java got right over python...

That said, yes, given that this much should have been apparent to whoever 
designed this bit of ZODB, it's suprising that there isn't a mapping of class 
name to thing-stored-in-ZODB-data that could be remapped later when thigns move 
around...

just my 2p,

Chris
