Thank you Anthony, you helped me for the first step.

I found the SQLFORM.factory concept and together with your info, I've been 
able to get my file and start to process it.

Now, here is how my action looks like:

@auth.requires_login()
def dbimport():
    result = "Please, upload a packed database"
    form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('packed_db', 'upload', label=T('Packed 
database to load'), uploadfolder='uploads'))
    if form.process().accepted:
        response.flash = 'Machin chargé'
        result = packed_db_process(request.vars.packed_db.file)
    elif form.errors:
        response.flash = 'Pwët error'
    return dict(form=form, result=result)

Note that the file does not appear in the uploads folder! That's the reason 
why I first was disappointed. But the file is still in memory!

Now that I'm able to process my file (with the zipfile module) I'm able to 
extract the csv and the pictures from it, but I need a function to encode 
the names from "product 0001.jpg" to 
"t_product.f_photo.xxxxxxxxxx.yyyyyyyy.jpg" and store them into the uploads 
directory.

Ho, ho ! I think I just found a way there:

I'll keep you in touch if I get stuck again.

Thank you!
