Naturally, but i
Another solution, possibly safer:
>>> from cStringIO import StringIO
>>> import csv
>>> s = "[16, 16, 2, 16, 2, 16, 8, 16]"
>>> sf = StringIO(s.strip()[1:-1])
>>> list(csv.reader(sf))
[['16', ' 16', ' 2', ' 16', ' 2', ' 16', ' 8', ' 16']]

I still hold my vote that if you need to reverse the
"stringification" of a list, you shouldn't have stringified the list
and lost hold of the original list in the first place. That is the
solution above all others.

Isn't '\d\d*' the same as '\d+' ?
