python计算字符串表达式的值不用eval,在不使用Eval的情况下将字符串转换为Python中的列表？...

I have a string, something like this: "[['Cheese', 72], ['Milk', 45], ['Bread', 22]]".

I want to convert this to a list. I know I can use eval(string) to get the list, but eval scares me because of its potential for catastrophe (and because I can get a non-list as valid output). Is there another saner/safer way to turn this string into a list? I know it's a list and anything that isn't a list is invalid data (and should be checked for and/or throw an error).

解决方案

If you insist on doing it this way, you can use the ast.literal_eval function.

>>> import ast

>>> foo = "[['Cheese', 72], ['Milk', 45], ['Bread', 22]]"

>>> ast.literal_eval(foo)

[['Cheese', 72], ['Milk', 45], ['Bread', 22]]

I'm sure others will tell you that you're likely doing something wrong, or to use a library like JSON to transport arbitrary data structures like this one, and I wouldn't disagree.
