Writing that script sounds potentially capable of consuming some programming hours. If the marshal format changes, it might not be easy to have the old and new marshal modules in the same Python instance. You might need two separate interpreters (old and new), to demarshal your objects in the old interpreter and communicate them somehow to the new interpreter (e.g. through pickle and sockets) for re-marshalling. Migrating a database is a big pain in the neck already without such extra complication. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
