I'd probably just call container.MyScript()  as self.MyScript() in the 
external method.  But i'm curious as to why your example doesn't work. 

Maybe you could first define the array first with something like ...

<tal:block tal:define="thearray structure? python: container.myScript();
                                whatever python: container.myExtMethod( 
thearray )"
