Plone 4.3 and transmogrifier installation

Question

I am trying to migrate content from old 3.x Plone installation to new Plone 4.3 instance. Both are running on windows platforms.

In new 4.3 installation I am trying to install quintagroup.transmogrifier and instance does not start. bin\instance.exe fg gives following:

clip Presumably normal entries removed... clip

  File "c:\plone43\eggs\zope.configuration-3.7.4-py2.7.egg\zope\configuration\config.py", line 179, in resolve
    mod = __import__(mname, *_import_chickens)
  File "c:\plone43\eggs\quintagroup.transmogrifier-0.4-py2.7.egg\quintagroup\transmogrifier\writer.py", line 13, in <module>
    import quintagroup.transmogrifier.patches
  File "c:\plone43\eggs\quintagroup.transmogrifier-0.4-py2.7.egg\quintagroup\transmogrifier\patches.py", line 89, in <module>
    from tarfile import nts, GNUTYPE_SPARSE, normpath

    ZopeXMLConfigurationError: File "c:\Plone43\parts\instance\etc\package-includes\002-quintagroup.transmogrifier-configure.zcml", line 1.0-1.70

    ImportError: cannot import name normpath

Is this something that transmogrifier is not allowd to load python module (v.2.7) in Plone or cannot find it from windows?

How could I fix the issue or approach it further?

I tried, just to copy data.fs to new site, but it seems to import a lot of "crap" from old version as well and some of the functionality dows not work properly.

I am not thet familiar with Plone/Zope/Python, but so far I have managed to get the job done.

Thanks

It's a bug in quintagroup.transmogrifier that has been fixed but not yet released.

For now, you can use the version on Github. If you are using mr.developer, the easiest way is to amend your buildout.cfg as follows:

[sources]
quintagroup.transmogrifier = git git://github.com/collective/quintagroup.transmogrifier.git
