Accessing a list of strings (created in a python script) from a keyword test

Please forgive me since this may be a newbie question. I've tried to check the documentation and consulted "the Google" and I haven't been able to locate an answer.  I am generating a list of strings...

    I'm guessing that there is something that I am doing wrong because on the keyword test side the object doesn't show anything.  It doesn't indicate that it knows anything about the methods of the list, etc.  

     

    I had tried turning it into a comma separated string and that worked.  But I had certainly missed usage of aqString.GetListItem so that would do the trick.  If you have any insight concerning what I might be doing wrong as far as "connecting" the object that would be great.  Should I use "accept as solution" for this, because it certainly should work?

     

    I appeciate the help from you and baxatob!

strArray is being returned as an object so most likely whatever object properties and methods are available to a Python array list would be accessible there as well.  That's my guess.

 

The alternative is that, rather than using the Python list type, you could return it as a delimited string and then use the aqString.GetListItem method to get the specific element from your list.
