Re: [Zope] python script, from string to dictionary.

I 'serialized' mysql data in order to flat one-to-many related tables. the resulting dictionaries (one per record) are i.e. as:

mydict [ brandcode ] = { 'itemcode': 'some value', 'itemsizeavail': [ ('XL',), ('XXL',), ('S',) ], 'keythree': '', 'keyfour': [ ], ... }

now then I can index the whole content in order to get it searchable from the Plone quick search form.

This is more than a little insane...

mydict [ ] records are then saved as strings in a DB table records.
