I think it's your first resource that's the problem.  It should be a
resource handle -- I don't think Python's GetScrap supports the behavior of
peeking at the scrap without getting it.  So do

	hdl = Res.Resource('')
	length, offset = Scrap.GetScrap(hdl, 'TEXT')

or something like that (typing from memory here).
