Port to Drupal 7

Feel free to get started and post up a patch!

I'm feeling more positive about this thread today ;-)

Please post here with suggestions for functionality for a D7 version of this module.

I would very much like to see this module for Drupal 7. I have yet to test out the D6 version but the concept seems perfect for my purpose (getting large amounts of data into a Drupal-based biological specimen database).

My only other suggestion is to please take time to write up good documentation! I can possibly help with that.

Any help with documentation would be greatly appreciated.

The main reason for using Pimport is if you need to update the content several times using one or more fields as a unique id. If you are just importing data once, as a migration I suggest you check out feeds and migrate as they are more mature solutions.

Thanks for the explanation. In the future we may want to implement updating nodes by importing CSV files, for which your module would work well. Now that I've figured out Feeds I think I will try to use that and see how it works out. The offer to help with documentation still stands though, I'll keep an eye on the project.

So for D7 the best option is still - http://drupal.org/project/migrate - right?
