[Zope-CMF] Importing TSV to Members

[alan runyan]

use an external method.

maybe something like:

def getMemberProperties(tsv_line):
    #parses line and sets the below vars
    return userid, passwd, roles, memberProperites

def importMembersFromTSV(self):
    for line in tsv_file:
        membership=getToolByName(self, 'portal_membership')
        userid, passwd, roles, memberProperties=getMemberProperties(line)
        membership.addMember(userid, passwd, roles, domains,
properties=memberProperties)

if you get this sorted out please post a recipe on http://zopelabs.com/
