Final integration:

    def identifyHost(self):
        for line in self.fileContents:
            if re.search("throttling", line.lower()):
                  p=r'\[((\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})\]'
                  ip=re.search(p,line)
                  if ip.group(1) in self.ignoreList:
                        continue
                  if not ip.group(1) in self.banList:
                         self.banList.append(ip.group(1))


Thanks for the help.
