Sorry; looking back over the archives, I see that
my original post about this might not have made
it to the public.  Hmmmm...

For the Script (Python)
	import string

	foo = string.split('This is a test...', ' ')
	return foo
I get
	Error Type: TypeError
	Error Value: loop over non-sequence

Changing to	
	foo = [] + string.split('This is a test...', ' ')
eliminates the error, but I don't know what to do
about
	import httplib
	h = httplib.HTTP('yyy.zope.org')
