Thanks. That was informative. But it doesn't seem to work. I get an 
AttributeError on __getslice__. The document I'm trying to render and 
the Python script that generates the string of the URL are both in 
the same folder as the page where this error occurs.

I'm stumped.

Maybe I need to make my Python script an external method?
