This is such a frequently asked question, I'm really surprised
you found nothing.  For one thing, it's all over the
archives of this mailing list.  For another,
in the Zope Book I know it's explained
in the Advanced Scripting chapter.

(This is also in the version on Zope.org, but it lacks 
named anchors so I can't give you a link right to the section.)

To allow arbitrary imports, see:
lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/README.txt
... in you zope software home.
