Hi Jeff

GetType gives me

     verifiedValues.GetType()
<System.RuntimeType object at 0x000000000000002B 
[IronPython.Runtime.PythonDictionary]>

I'm using the Ansys Workbench Command Window which seems to be running 
on IronPython 2.6. If you think it will be necessary to use a newer 
version, I'll try to check if that's possible.
