[Zope] Upgrading a Product from Zope 2.7 to Zope 2.10

[Peter Bengtsson]

I'm not an expert at these kind of things but 3 tips:

* Don't bother with trying to run off the old Data.fs until you get
your product working in the new Zope.

* Inspect your code and what kind of objects (and most likely more
importantly) and attributes you're attaching to classes that are
persistent. I've forgotten my case now but I remember that I had a
problem when I was trying to set an attribute that turned out to be a
uncalled class method of another class.

* Get familiar with this: 'import pdb; pdb.set_trace()'
