Are you sure about that? There's something going on outside what you 
have written above. It worked for me with a dead simple std_template and 
without the is_logged_on() bits. So I suspect one of those is the 
culprit. How does it work without the macro and/or method calls?

A Python script is really a method in itself. You can stick a bunch of 
them in a folder and call them like 'folder.somescript()' if you want to 
simulate a module for organizational reasons.
