Hi!


When i try to export a PluggableAuthService object as XML, (with ZMI
Import/Export or with manage_exportObject?id=acl_users&download=1&toxml=Y)
i get the following exception:

  Error Type: AttributeError
  Error Value: List instance has no attribute 'extend'

  [...]

  Traceback (innermost last):

    * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 101, in publish
    * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply
    * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object
    * Module OFS.ObjectManager, line 504, in manage_exportObject
    * Module OFS.XMLExportImport, line 58, in exportXML
    * Module OFS.XMLExportImport, line 33, in XMLrecord
    * Module Shared.DC.xml.ppml, line 253, in load
    * Module pickle, line 872, in load
    * Module pickle, line 1209, in load_appends

Seems that the xml export calls the "extend" method of an
Shared.DC.xml.ppml.List object, which isnt implemented.

The following patch (implement "extend" like "append") solves the problem
(for me!):
