Why you don't make this "['1','2','3']".strip("[]").split(',') work for me
Look more carefully. This is not the same as ast.literal_eval().
>>> "['1','2','3']".strip("[]").split(',')
["'1'", "'2'", "'3'"] # list of 3-char strings
>>> ast.literal_eval("['1','2','3']")
['1', '2', '3'] # list of 1-char strings
Even if it were the same, it would be specific to lists of strings and
would not work for anything else.
