The reason is that I am porting some zclass objects
into a database. This field contains answers to a dynamic option
list.
I don't think it would be that much of a pain in
the ass to parse it into a dict, but I was thinking that Zope had some functions
that could already do this.
I am using Zope 2.7.

there a way in Zope to type that back to a dict?
Not securely or
without much pain and suffering.
(The pain and suffering was described
somewhere in one of the ZOpe list
archives, and involved repurposing part
of the python compiler package, which is
only possible in Zope 2.7,
IIRC)
