BadPickleGet error during import in XML format

[Adam Smith]

I am getting an error when exporting from Zope 2.7.4, Python 2.3.4 and importing to Zope 2.7.5, Python 2.4.1. If I do it as ZEXP file, everything works fine, but if I do it in XML format, I get an error that says: Error type: BadPickleGet Error value: 1. I want to do it in XML format because I want to save the file in a CVS repository along with a Zope product I am developing. When I tried to do this with a ZEXP file, I couldn't import it once it was checked into and out of CVS, so I figured a text formatted file would be a better choice. (But note that the BadPickleGet error I received was after doing a direct export and import, so CVS was not in the picture yet.)

Please let me know what other information might be helpful. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give.

Can't comment much on the XML export error, but note that as a workaround you can check a .zexp file into CVS with the -kb flag... e.g.

cvs add -kb myfile.zexp

That will tell CVS to treat the file as binary and won't attempt to expand keywords on a checkout.

Thank you so much for the advice--that did the trick and makes an eventual fix a pretty low priority for me at least.

Chris suggested a workaround that fixed the reporters issue.
