	My impression is that you pass chirp (and the Python bindings 
thereof) ClassAd expressions (in their unparsed, text form).  So:

"has the string type"
{ "has", "the", "list", "type" }
[ has="the"; classad="type"; ]

or, equivalently:

$ classad_eval 'isString("has the string type")'
[  ]
true
$ classad_eval 'isList({"has", "the", "list", "type"})'
[  ]
true

$ classad_eval 'isClassad([has="bar"; classad="type";])'
[  ]
true
