Is the problem the "running it on host1" (which should work fine) or
the "splitting up 'red;blue' into a list"?

If the latter, right now there's no way to send anything to your
Python function as anything but a string, though I do want to try and
change that sometime. So splitting the string into a list yourself is
the best route right now.

Just noticed that while this has been on my mind, there's no ticket
for it; just made one:

So, even if I totally misread you, thanks for the nudge on that
subject anyways ;)
