You are probably better of asking this on the zope at zope.org list.

You should just save your external script in the Zope management 
interface every time you have changed it, then it will be updated in Zope.

Or you could start Zope with the -D option, then I believe it will 
automatically update it.

If you are importing the module into the external script you will need 
to "reload(external_module)"

Else you need to list some code of your external method.
