hi, i'm doing some udp stuff and receive strings of the form '0.870000 0.250000 0.790000;\n' what i'd need though is a list of the form [0.870000 0.250000 0.790000] i got to the [0:-3] part to obtain a string '0.870000 0.250000 0.790000' but i can't find a way to convert this into a list. i tried eval() but this gives me the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "<string>", line 1 .870000 0.250000 0.79000 and i have the same problem the other way round. e.g. i have a list which i need to convert to a string in order to send it via udp. btw: i cannot use pickle, since i'm sending stuff to a LISP programme. thank you in advance for your help! best, robin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
