Under your Zope directory, there should be an Extensions directory.
You place your python code in there (with permissions so that it is
readable and executable by Zope).

There's a more detailed explanation at:

_The Zope Book_ is available online from zope.org

The Beehive books (not free) are also quite good:
  www.beehive.de
  They have a book on creating ZClasses, one on Users and Roles and 
one on Zope and MySQL (which I haven't read).
