[Legacy] Using collective.export in older Plone 4.3 setup [SOLVED]

Plone Support
1

We have an almost simple Plone 4.3.18 setup using

[buildout]
parts =
    instance
    zeo
    zopepy
    tests
#    code-analysis


index = https://pypi.python.org/simple

show-picked-versions = true

extends = 
        http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3.18/versions.cfg

versions = versions


find-links =
    http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3.18
    http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty


eggs = 
    python-ldap
    mr.developer
    zchl.policy
#    zchl.basetheme
#    Products.ATVocabularyManager
    plone.api
    plone.app.workflowmanager
    Pillow
    plone4.csrffixes==1.1
    z3c.jbot
    five.pt
    Products.PloneHotfix20210518
    Products.PloneHotfix20200121
    collective.jsonify
    collective.exportimport

I tried to add an older version collective.exportimport==1.7 to our setup with plone.api = 1.8.4 pin. However, buildout always gives me this conflict with zope.tales where 3.5.3 is the pinned version for Plone 4.3.18...and I could not figure out which dependency would requires zope.tales>5.0.2:

mr.developer: Queued 'collective.jsonify' for checkout.
mr.developer: Queued 'humanize' for checkout.

You need to pin a lot of packages in order to make plone.restapi (as a dependency of collective.exportimport) work. This is the list of versions required to install plone.restapi in Plone 4 (from the README):

PyJWT = 1.7.1

six = 1.11.0
attrs = 21.2.0
plone.rest = 1.6.2
plone.schema = 1.3.0
# Last pyrsistent version that is python 2 compatible:
pyrsistent = 0.15.7

# Required by:
# jsonschema==3.2.0
functools32 = 3.2.3.post2

# Required by:
# plone.schema==1.3.0
jsonschema = 3.2.0

# Required by:
# importlib-metadata==1.3.0
pathlib2 = 2.3.5

# Required by:
# pathlib2==2.3.5
scandir = 1.10.0

# plone.app.contenttypes > 1.0
plone.app.contenttypes = 1.1.9

importlib-metadata = 2.1.3
zipp = 1.2.0
configparser = 4.0.2
contextlib2 = 0.6.0.post1

We have succesfully used this list with collective.exportimport = 1.12

Wonderful...that solved my problem...additionally, I had to pin ijson==3.0.3.
