I'll contact CouchOne support on that. In case anyone else is looking for the library, the site is here: http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/ couchdb-dump: Writes a snapshot of a CouchDB database (including documents, attachments, and design documents) to MIME multipart file. couchdb-load: Reads a MIME multipart file as generated by couchdb-dump and loads all the documents, attachments, and design documents into a CouchDB database.
