Note that the "new way" stuff is only for Zope *later* than 2.8.x.
In that case, you would define the function in a module somewhere on
your $PYTHONPATH (e.g., in $INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python, or in a product)
and then register it in a ZCML file which is included from your
'site.zcml' (in $INSTANCE_HOME/etc).

The old way to do that we be to derive your own folder class and
override '_setObject' / '_delObject' to add your semantics.

The new way (for Zope >= 2.9) would be to register a subscriber for the
"container" events which are published automatically.  Something like
(untested)::

  def update_keywords(event):
  keyword = getattr(event.newparent, 'keyword', None)
  event.object.keyword = None
  event.object.reindexObject()

and then in ZCML::
