[Zodb-checkins] SVN: ZODB/branches/3.3/ Backward compatibility hack for ZODB.Persistent{List, Mapping}.

[Tim Peters]

Log message for revision 29467:
  Backward compatibility hack for ZODB.Persistent{List,Mapping}.
  
  Allow those old (ZODB 3.2) dotted paths to work again.
  
  Fallout:  testPersistentMapping.py hasn't actually run anything
  for a long time, due to a mysterious "return None" at the start
  of its test_suite() function.  Removed that.  Then its
  checkNewPicklesAreSafe test failed.  Spent 15 minutes on that,
  and gave up -- I'm still not even sure what it's _trying_ to
  test.  Changed it to a TODO.

 but it's possible for application code to force such an attempt.
 
+PersistentMapping and PersistentList
+------------------------------------
+
+Backward compatibility code has been added so that the sanest of the
+ZODB 3.2 dotted paths for ``PersistentMapping`` and ``PersistentList``
+resolve.  These are still preferred:
+
+- ``from persistent.list import PersistentList``
+- ``from persistent.mapping import PersistentMapping``
+
+but these work again too:
+
+- ``from ZODB.PersistentList import PersistentList``
+- ``from ZODB.PersistentMapping import PersistentMapping``
