The 'script' you're talking about returns HTML?? Is this a web page?
web service? file? It is available under URL? The  content is script
itself or something that this script returns?

Not sure if I understand correctly but if you want to "paste some html
from url", then AFAIK ZPT has no statement (shortcut) for this kind of
things.

Depends what 'external' is for you... In general you may use different
protocol, something with xml-rpc, json and this stuff. What is wrong
with urllib2? On the other hand you may just use iframes or some
javascripts/ajax things on the client side.
