You should be able to install them in the zope SOFTWARE_HOME and then
import and use them as usual (for python programs) from your External
Methods.  If you installed a binary version of Zope that comes with
its own python executable, you could do this to install the software:

	cd some_distutils_compatible_python_package
	/usr/local/Zope-2.6.1-linux2-x86/bin/python setup.py install

If you are running some other python executable, you can add command
line arguments to the above 'install' command to direct it to install
the software into the Zope SOFTWARE_HOME.  Or you could let it install
in that python's default library -- it's all the same as far as being
importable into an External Method.
