dumpdata without MemoryErrors, with progress notification. Most of the real work is done by snippets 1400 and 1401.

./manage.py dumpdata_stream --format=xml > big_dump.xml

This is basically the stock Django dumpdata with a few modifications. Django devs: it's hard to reuse parts of most Django management commands. A little refactoring could go a long way.

Some help on how to use the snippets would be neat for newbies. Can I just pack all 3 snippets in one file and overwrite dumpdata.py? I tried, but keep getting this error:

manage.py dumpdata --format=xml > dump.xml

INFO:root:Dumping model <class 'django.contrib.admin.models.LogEntry'>

INFO:root:qs4e: Getting list of objects

Error: Unable to serialize database: float division

@rage3

To fix the float division error go modify the Queryset Foreach (snippet 1400) file at line 32 where it says return self.cur_idx / ....

put that in a try except ZeroDivisionError block and in the exception handler put return 0

That should fix it and get it working.
