1) No need to think about a regex solution. Somewhere in your code (I don't see
it in this example), you are storing a string representation of a list, inside
your other list. I have a feeling it might be your self.stripPath() method.
Could you show that?
Also, for adding one list to another, you can do it even faster by using
`extend`:
new_ikfk_note_list.extend(self.okfk_stored_notes)
2) stringToStringArray is a mel method. You shouldn't need that in python.
You are correct about needing getattr to resolve an attribute from a string:
item.leg_ctl = getattr(self, 'leg_ctrl')
But I don't see you actually storing them as attributes. They are being stored
in a list, right?
If you post more of the complete code on pastebin or elsewhere, and point out
the lines, I can take a better look.
