[Zope] The zope way to do it

I started playing with external methods, because I have to display 
quite complex data (stored in dictionaries of lists of dictionaries) 
that differs on a per directory basis.

In plain python I'd put all the functions I need in a file like this 
one, called test_aux.py
--------------------------------------------
def display(text):
	result=''
	for word in text:
		result= result + word + ' '
	return result
--------------------------------------------
then I'd create another file that imports display from test_aux.py 
and uses it, say test.py:
--------------------------------------------
from test_aux import display
print display(['This','is','a','very','simple','example.'])
--------------------------------------------
and the run it with 'python test.py'

What's the python way to do this?
