[Tutor] Regular Expression help - parsing AppleScript Lists as Strings

Hi, I'm writing utilities to handle return values from AppleScript in python and one of the steps is recognizing when a returned value from an AppleScript execution (via popen and osascript) represents a list (in AppleScript) or not. For the most part I think I have the correct matching pattern,
