I already did. Perhaps you should too - as well as forgetting what I have said you seem to be forgetting what you have said! "[1,2,3]" is both a literal by "my" definition, and is accepted by literal_eval(). There is no mystery there. You brought up the idea of functions instead, which are neither literals nor accepted by literal_eval() - no mystery there either. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
