        be customized, neither in custom packages nor in derived batch
        processor classes. Therefore, this is the only place where we
        do import data.

        Before this method starts creating or updating persistent data, it
        prepares two more files in a temporary folder of the filesystem: (1)
        a file for pending data with file extension ``.pending`` and (2)
        a file for successfully processed data with file extension
        ``.finished``. Then the method starts iterating over all rows of
        the CSV file. Each row is treated as follows:

        1. An empty row is skipped.

        2. Empty strings or lists (``[]``) in the row are replaced by
           ignore markers.

        3. The `BatchProcessor.checkConversion` method validates and converts 
           all values in the row. Conversion means the transformation of strings
           into Python objects. For instance, number expressions have to be
           transformed into integers, dates into datetime objects, phone number
           expressions into phone number objects, etc. The converter returns a
           dictionary with converted values or, if the validation of one of the
           elements fails, an appropriate warning message. If the conversion
           fails a pending record is created and stored in the pending data file
           together with a warning message the converter has raised.

        4. In **create mode** only:

           The parent object must be found and a child
           object with same object id must not exist. Otherwise the row
           is skipped, a corresponding warning message is raised and a
           record is stored in the pending data file.

           Now `doImport` tries to add the new object with the data
           from the conversion dictionary. In some cases this
           may fail and a `DuplicationError` is raised. For example, a new
           payment ticket is created but the same payment for same session
           has already been made. In this case the object id is unique, no
           other object with same id exists, but making the 'same' payment
           twice does not make sense. The import is skipped and a
           record is stored in the pending data file.

        5. In **update mode** only:

           If the object can't be found, the row is skipped,
           a ``no such entry`` warning message is raised and a record is
           stored in the pending data file.

           The `BatchProcessor.checkUpdateRequirements` method checks additional
           requirements the object must fulfill before being updated. These
           requirements are not imposed by the data type but the context
           of the object. For example, post-graduate students have a different
           registration workflow. With this method we do forbid certain workflow
           transitions or states. 

           Finally, `doImport` updates the existing object with the data
           from the conversion dictionary.

        6. In **remove mode** only:

           If the object can't be found, the row is skipped,
           a ``no such entry`` warning message is raised and a record is
           stored in the pending data file.

           Finally, `doImport` removes the existing object.
