Use print repr(something) when you want to see its contents.
For a list, in python, you'll get something like that:
['One','two','three']
That is, some items separated by commas and enclosed in []
If you get something different then pullerList is NOT what you expect 
it to be - and you'll have to figure out what happened to it, usually 
looking at where it comes from.
For example, if you get it from a file -I think this is the case- and 
you want each line from the file in each list element, use 
file.readlines(). If you read the file as a whole (that is, using 
file.read()) you'll get something like 'one\ntwo\nthree\n'
As I said before, make sure your script works fine testing it 
*alone*, after then, try it with CVSNT. If it doesnt work, maybe what 
you get is not what you expect it to be - use print repr(...) to see 
what's your input.
