I wouldn't even try.  ZODB is tricky to get right, especially if you're
trying to store mutable objects not designed to be stored in the ZODB.
And if future-compatibility with your old database is important, you
must commit to never renaming a class or an attribute, which is hard to do
when you rely on an external library without such commitment.
