With thanks to all who made suggestions, this was what I settled on
f = open('testfile')
#(testfile consisting of 2 columns of data, as per Kent's suggestion)
data = []
for line in f:

>>> mylist = eval(mystring)
>>> mylist
[(1,2), (3,4)]
>>> type(mylist)
Thanks

But if one word has different meanings in the other
