[Grok-dev] Re: LocalUtility Woes

[Sebastian Ware]

 From what I have understood about zope.app.generations it is more a  
data transformation component. You write the code to transform your  
persistent objects from one generation to another. The component  
keeps track of what generation the individual objects belong to and  
perform the transformation transparently as needed.
