Hi,

at "Berlin Strategic sprint 2016“ [1] Florian Pilz and me developed a tool to analyze a ZODB Filestorage for Python 2 string objects. When they are in an encoding besides ASCII this would prevent using this Filestorage with Python 3 because of decoding errors arising on loading the pickles.
The tool is even able to convert those strings either to unicode by decoding them using a configurable encoding or convert them to `zodbpickle.binary` so Python 3 will read them as `bytes`.
See [3] for the documentation of the tool and [2] for the repository on GitHub.

* Is there already another tool for this analysis/migration?
* Is there already any practical knowledge migrating Filestorage contents to Python 3?
* Do you think such a tool is the right approach to achieve such a migration?
* Is there anyone who wants to try out the tool on a Filestorage of a personal project and share the experiences? (I analyzed two projects where I have access to a Filestorage but I am sure this does not catch all the edge cases.)
