How so?
The import functionality seem to be broken since at least Zope 2.7. I created a DTML method exported it and _tried_ to reimport it. Zope 2.7 throws a BadPickleGet, 12 exception, Zope 2.8 throws BadPickleGet, 13 and Zope 2.9 raises the described UnicodeDecodeError. I don't expect that the import functionality works for even more complex objects. So I consider the whole functionality as totally broken. The generated XML might be useful to perform any processing outside Zope but using it for re-importing it into another Zope systems definitely does _not_ work. So if the functionality should remain in Zope then it should be fixed for Zope 2.10 lately. Andreas
