I would recommend using urllib in an external method, not a python script.

If you want to use a python script to access the contents of a static page 
(static page created via the ZMI), why don't you do something like:

staticPage = 
context.restrictedTraverse('/path/to/the/static/page/staticPage.html')

The variable staticPage will then hold the contents of the static page and 
you can process it as you require.
