Before I start on such an adventure, what is the Python/Zope term for what 
I'm trying to do, specifically to allow the import of an entire module, 
including classes inside it, and methods inside those classes' objects?

Maybe so, but I'm not looking forward to re-writing several years worth of 
production code.  I was really hoping for a simple switch that told Zope to 
blanketly let me use a module and its contents.  I'm still somewhat in 
disbelief that it's not there.
