from the help function in Zope 2.3.1 i got the following info, which
actually works for me. I wanted to import urlparse into a pythin script.
In my /var/zope-2.3.1/Products directory (INSTANCEHOME, where i install
all my local and not "standard" Zope products) i created a directory
`Modules' and in this directory a file __init__.py in this file i wrote
the following:

from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module, allow_class
from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo, ClassSecurityInfo
from Globals import InitializeClass

allow_module("urlparse");

and then i could import urlparse into a python script.

see also help->script(python)->allowing import of modules.
