(1) If you have a tree of packaged modules, you might consider
    installing them under the (YourZopeRoot)/lib/python folder,
    remember to drop in a __init__.py in the root of your package.
    lib/python is the place where you want to install your
    python modules.

(2) You can also add the python paths dynamically inside your
    z2.py file, if the modules are located elsewhere. The z2.py
    file is located at the root of your Zope installation.

    import sys
    sys.path.append('your path here')
