Well, if you know TCL then read the bit about how to write a python
list:
 (http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html#SECTION005140000000000000000)
Then write a TCL function to traverse your TCL list and write it out in
the python format.

Another suggestion might be to use CSV as an intermediary:
  http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/csv.html
  http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/module-csv.html

Now if you know Python and not TCL ... :-)
