[GeoNode-users] Metadata Import with PyCSW

[Jonáš Veselka]

Ariel,
OK, here it is. It's long and dirty code, but main points are:

87: __init__: some connections, SQL query for metadata from old GeoNode

130: gnode: GET geonode to get csrf token, then POST to login to get
sessionid

191: getContacts: not important, I used it to construct SQL query to update
users

284: copy: main method, which gets values and make POST request.

So, You asked for it :-) But I hope it will be helpful. I apologize for any
non-english comments. If You have any question, ask me.

Jonáš
