в каком *.py должен лежать модуль “phones.models”?

в каталоге phones есть католог models. его можно использовать как пакет. для єтг надо модели описать в нем в файле __init__.py
тогда можно будет импортировать phones.models

Интересное замечание от Paster-а: “DeprecationWarning: pylons.database
is deprecated, and will be removed from a future version of Pylons. SQLAlchemy
users are recommended to migrate to SAContext” – гибкость модульности в действии

более тесная интеграция это зачасту положительно.
