[Bf-python] mesh material names

[R.Southall at brighton.ac.uk]

Hi there.
I am struggling writing my first Blender python script, and my question is thus pretty basic.
I have a list of materials associated with meshes which I got by doing:
 
 
meshes = Blender.Mesh.Get()
for mesh in meshes:
	meshmat=mesh.materials
 
Printing meshmat then gives me [[Material "Cube"]] and [[Material "calcplane"]
I then want to only proceed with the next action if the material has the calcplane name. I have tried
 
 
if meshmat == "calcplane":
		for v in mesh.verts:
			print v.co
 
But I cannot get it to recognise the material name 'calcplane' and as meshmat has no name attribute in this context, as far as I can tell, I can't figure out how to get just the actual names out of meshmat.
 
Am I missing something simple or doing this in completely the wrong way?
 
Cheers
 
Ryan
