Formerly, the "ExternalMethod" documentation suggested to
put such modules into "<SOFTWARE_HOME>/Shared/<your_company>/...".

Nowadays (since Zope 2.7, I think), "<INSTANCE_HOME>/lib/python"
is a better place (with any structure you would like to use).
This folder is put on "PYTHONPATH" automatically. No need to fiddle
with it (I have already searched hours for problems caused by
runtime "sys.path" manipulations).
