One last question, I haven't done much python so please bear with me.

In order to pass an addicional parameter to my custom module, what's the correct syntax for the fork_job call? I've tried the following but it keeps complaining

def get_obfuscated_article(self, url):
        br = self.browser
        result = fork_job(js_fetcher, 'grab', args=(url, br), module_is_source_code=True)
        html = result['result']
        if isinstance(html, type(u'')):
            html = html.encode('utf-8')
        pt = PersistentTemporaryFile('.html')
        pt.write(html)
        pt.close()
        return pt.name

Error trace
