Add the directory, where it's located to sys.path (in Python) or PYTHONPATH

Right now I'm using two-stage aproach.

First I build the Data.fs of my site using following script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- python -*- file
# $Id: build.py,v 1.1.2.1 2000/01/06 15:37:02 akhavr Exp $
#

import os, sys, getopt

verbose=0

opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:],'v')

for o, v in opts:
    if o=='-v': verbose=1

ZopeLibPath=os.environ['ZOPE_HOME']
sys.path=['',
          os.path.join(ZopeLibPath,'lib','python'),
          ZopeLibPath
          ]+filter(None,sys.path)

import Zope
root = Zope.app()

import src

os.chdir('src')
src.build(root, verbose=verbose)
get_transaction().commit()

Then, I run test scripts like the following and compare their output to
what it should look like.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- python -*- file

    'passwd'  : 'abracada$%^ra',

    }

import init
site = init.site

from mkrequest import *

print '*** Main page'
site('/')
site('/style_css')
print '*** Select'
site('/register')
print '*** Register'
site('/register/do' + mkrequest(request))

import os, sys, string

ZopeLibPath=os.environ['ZOPE_HOME']
sys.path=['',
          os.path.join(ZopeLibPath,'lib','python'),
          ZopeLibPath
          ]+filter(None,sys.path)

import ZPublisher, Zope
root = Zope.app()

def site(url, d=None):
    return ZPublisher.Zope(url, d=d)

Hope this helps
