It's a good question (meaning that I don't have a good answer). In
addition to <context>/, the <context>/WEB-INF/lib/Lib is also included
on sys.path, but non of these places are good for the type of python
modules that must be invisible from browser client.

The ../lib and ../classes directories both have a well defined meaning
already, so I don't think that they are good candidates for sys.path
entries.

<context>/WEB-INF/modules/ perhaps?
