You should be able to use the same method, manage_renameObjects outside of Zope. Call it on the container of the object to be renamed passing it two lists, a list of old ids and a list of new ids. hth, -Casey Sean McGrath wrote:

I need to find a way to rename objects in the ZODB while Zope is not running. i.e. by importing and manipulating the ZODB directly. Nothing immediately jumps out at me from looking at the ZODB HowTo and other materials.

Any pointers?
