Hi all, I am using pexpect to drive another tool. Some of the data I get back would be better suited as a list and I want to know a simple way to parse the data to push it into a list.
For example I get the following string back. I want to convert this to a list: '("." ".." "cdslib_cleanup.py" "cadence.py" "cdsinit_cdsenv_cleanup.py")' should be: ["." ".." "cdslib_cleanup.py" "cadence.py" "cdsinit_cdsenv_cleanup.py"] It should be able to handle embeded lists like this: '("." ("cadence.py" "foo_cleanup.py") "cdslib_cleanup.py" "cadence.py" "cdsinit_cdsenv_cleanup.py")' should become ["." ["cadence.py" "foo_cleanup.py"] "cdslib_cleanup.py" "cadence.py" "cdsinit_cdsenv_cleanup.py"] Is there some exisitng code which will handle this task? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
