Description: Introduction
        ============
        
        The transmogrify.dexterity package provides a transmogrifier pipeline section
        for updating field values of dexterity content objects. The blueprint name is
        ``transmogrify.dexterity.schemaupdater``.
        
        The schemaupdater section needs at least the path to the object to update.
        Paths to objects are always interpreted as being relative to the context. Any
        writable field who's id matches a key in the current item will be updated with
        the corresponding value.
        
        Fields that do not get a value from the pipeline are initialized with their
        default value or get a missing_value marker.
        This functionality will be moved into a separate constructor pipeline...
        
        The schmemaupdater section can also handle fields defined in behaviors.
        
        
        Actually tested and supported fields
        ------------------------------------
        
        - TextLine or Text
        
        - Bool
        
        - List
        
        - NamedFileField
            needs a dict with data and filename or get the filename in a seperated
            value from the pipeline
        
        - Date
            needs a datetime.date or datetime.datetime object, or a string in the
            following format "%Y-%m-%d"
        
        
        Default pipelines
        =================
        
        This package also registers a number of pipelines for you to use. To add them
        to a GenericSetup profile, create a ``transmogrifier.txt`` with the name of the
        pipeline you wish to use.
        
        
        transmogrify.dexterity.csvimport
        --------------------------------
        
        This pipeline will convert a CSV file into dexterity content. To use it:
        
        * Name your CSV ``entries.csv``
        
        * Create a file called ``transmogrifier.txt`` with the one line
          ``transmogrify.dexterity.csvimport``
        
        * Add both to a ``.tar.gz`` file
        
        * Visit /Plone/portal_setup/manage_importSteps
        
        * Select the tarball you just made
        
        * "Import uploaded tarball"
        
        ...or add it as part of another GS profile.
        
        The first row of the CSV is presumed to be column headings. Unless a special
        column, the column will be presumed to be a dexterity property to update on the
        type. Special column names are:-
        
        - _type
            portal_type of content (optional, default is Document)
        
        - _path
            Full path to content item, including content item.
        
        - _folder
            Folder containing item, id will be derived from title
        
        - _transitions
            Workflow transition (optional, default is "publish")
        
        
        TODO
        ----
        
        - General support for all fields
        - Tests
        
        
        Changelog
        =========
        
        
        1.5.1 (2015-05-27)
        ------------------
        
        - Make z3c.relationfield imports conditional.
          [jone]

        ----------------
        
        - When retrieving the object via traversal from the path, check if it provides
          IDexterityContent. Traversal can also return attributes of objects, if no
          object can be found but the path element is named like an attribute.
          [thet]
        
        - Handle collective.jsonify structures, specifically _datafield_FIELDNAME and
          _content_type_FIELDNAME keys.
          [thet]
        
        - PEP8.
          [thet]
        
        - Add value converters for z3c.relationfield relation(-lists).
          [deiferni]

          [ebrehault]
        
        
        1.2 (2013-08-29)
        ----------------
        
        - Only update with a default value if there isn't a value already set
          on the field. (NB: before a default value would be set, regardless
          of the current field value).
          [lentinj]
