[Zope] External Method import problems

Either add your extentions directory to your pythonpath or use
import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/DateTime")
from DateTime import *

Be aware of that changes to your DateTime module will not propriagate to
the zope namespace so while developing it might be useful to do
something like
import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/DateTime")
import DateTime
reload(DateTime)
to ensure that you get things right. I anyone has a better suggestion,
I'd like to hear about it :-)

Cheers, Fredrick
