You probably need to put your library in the PYTHONPATH of Zope. The
usual place is <zope-root>/lib/python2.1/site-packages

Putting it in the Extesions directory, so that it can be imported by
external methods, doesn't seem to work, even if you put Extensions in
the PYTHONPATH, at least in my experience.
