Further to my previous comment, if you *absolutely must* use eval, you
can mitigate some (but not all) security threats and solve your
eval(repr) issue:
# evaluate string `s` a little bit less dangerously
if '_' in s:
raise ValueError('underscore prohibited')
else:
eval(s, {'inf': math.inf, '__builtins__': None})
