How to turn a string into a list in python?
list, python, string
Solution
the `ast` module has a `literal_eval` that does what you want
import ast
l = "['Hello', 'my', 'name', 'is', 'Apple']"
l1 = ast.literal_eval(l)
Outputs:
['Hello', 'my', 'name', 'is', 'Apple']
docs
Problem
``` l = "['Hello', 'my', 'name', 'is', 'Apple']" l1 = ['Hello', 'my', 'name', 'is', 'Apple'] ``` `type(l)` returns `str` but I want it to be a list, as `l1` is. How can I transform that string into a common list?
