hello, I need to translate the following string a = '(0, 0, 0, 255), (192, 192, 192, 255), True, 8'
into the following list or tuple b = [(0, 0, 0, 255), (192, 192, 192, 255), True, 8 ] Is there a simple way to to this. (Not needed now, but might need it in the future: even deeper nested lists, represented by a string.) thanks, Stef Mientki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
