Mmhmm.

I dub thee Script2.py:

Okay.

I dub thee Script3.py:

The only reason that moving the lines
  form = cgi.FieldStorage()
and
  blah = int(form.getfirst("blah", 0))

from Script3 to the exact place in Script2 (notwithstanding my not
wanting to type absurdly long variable names :P) wouldn't work, is if
you didn't move the lines correctly. Those will absolutely work just
fine in Script2.py. You had to have done it wrong. Maybe typo'd.

Show the traceback.

Hint: Never say it "doesn't work", or "I can't do this here", or "it
won't" or "it can't. Show the actual traceback and the actual (not
retyped) chunk of code.
