FWIW, there's ast.literal_eval which is safe and there's no reason to avoid it. You'll still have to deal with the fact that a single string on a line will return a string while multiples will return a tuple, but how you're doing that (checking the type of the result) is fine. --Stephen m e @ i x o k a i . i o -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
