You do *not* put them in the "Extension" folders containing your
external methods! You can put them anywhere where your
Python path points too (import sys; print sys.path).
"<zopedist>/lib/python" is, for example, in the path.

Somewhere in the External Method documentation, it is
recommended to put application specific modules in
a subpackage of "lib/python/Shared" (named after
your company, to reduce the risk of name clashes).
