hi folks, 

For optimisation purpose, I'm trying to write/read some stringArray 
attributes. Never had any issue to do that in cpp, and it works fine in 
python as well for reading, but I can't figure out how to write this 
attribute with python, since it doesn't include any MStringArray (unlike 
MPointArray or other type of maya arrays).
Right now, I have :
# create a dummy stringArray plug
sph = cmds.polySphere(ch=0)[0]
cmds.addAttr(sph, ln='foo', dt='stringArray')
strplug = '.'.join((sph, 'foo'))
# get the function set
sel=MGlobal.getSelectionListByName(strplug)
hPlug=sel.getPlug(0).asMDataHandle()
fn=MFnStringArrayData(hPlug.data())
# fail to do anything with it.... also, noticed that by default it seems to 
error instead of returning an empty array..
fn.set('bar')

anyone has done that before ? What am I missing ? 

Thanks a lot
