I think that the latest Archetypes may ship with the ability to treat 
generator and validator as Zope Products. You can try, at least.

Otherwise, the packages should go in something like 
lib/python/site-packages, which is usually under /lib or /lib/local, but 
could also be done under /home. Make sure that this location is included 
in the Python path Zope uses.
