Hi Ron I think by using the clipboard and drop data you are making things more difficult than they need be. Why not just save your AE data as an AE transform data txt file then have a modified version of your script create a .nk file containing the Transform node (by parsing the AE file). This is much easier for debugging and you can drop it in Nuke without any explicit code.
