There is nothing special about either. They are simply how you do things 
that are not anticipated by the framework (and screen-scraping isn't 
that common).

Many people seem to have placed artificial walls around the use of 
External Methods, but there's no good reason for this; they take about 
10 seconds more to set up than TTW Python scripts.

Look at KebasData: if it works for you it may save you a lot of time.
