the old product and then build new instances of my new product. That is why I'd like to know if there is a good documentation concerning the internal structure of zexp files.
The .zexp files are Python pickles. The XML generated through export/import is basically an XML representation of the Python pickle. The most straight forward solution would be to write a migration script for your stuff and not to look into pickles...but you can of course follow the pickle road if you like it the hard way :-)

You're right, I did not think about XML : thanks for the very good idea !
Possibly my reply wasn't clear enough. The pickle format (binary or XML) appears too low-level in order to write a reasonable migration script. The recommended solution would be to write a reasonable migration on the application level based on your current data... -aj
