I am reasonably confident that this is true.

The following code runs successfully inside SciTE.

def getCount (  ):
    from urllib import urlopen, quote
    from string import find
    searchFor =3D 'Cobol'
    arg =3D=
 r'http://jobsearch.monster.ca/jobsearch.asp?brd=3D1&cy=3DCA&lid=3D236&fn=
=3D6&fn=3D546&fn=3D660&fn=3D554&fn=3D561&q=3D%s' % ( quote ( searchFor), )
    result =3D arg
    try:
        page =3D urlopen ( arg )
        result +=3D '<br/>%s: ' % searchFor
        for line in page.readlines():
            loc =3D  find ( line, "Jobs 1 to " )
            if loc !=3D -1:
                loc2 =3D find ( line, " of " )
                loc3 =3D find ( line, "</B>", loc2 )
                result +=3D line [ loc2 + 4 : loc3 ]
                return result
        result +=3D 'None found'
    except Exception, msg:
        result +=3D '<br/>' + str ( msg )
    return result

if __name__ =3D=3D "__main__":
    print getCount (  )

If I upload this into an External Method with function name "getCount" and=
 then click on the 'Test' tab I get the following:

http://jobsearch.monster.ca/jobsearch.asp?brd=3D1&cy=3DCA&lid=3D236&fn=3D6&f=
n=3D546&fn=3D660&fn=3D554&fn=3D561&q=3DCobol<br/>[Errno socket error]=
 (10061, 'Connection refused')

Would appreciate any more thoughts you might have.
