Hi Tom,

I would create a function in your module that returns the list.  Here's 
a quick, simplified example:

def returnList():
	newList = []
	newList += [123.45]
	newList += [529.59]
	newList += [259.92]
	return newList
	
aList = returnList()
print aList


Note the return statement...  This enables assignment, as you have done 
in "xy=enterData.returnList()"

Hope this helps,

Byron
