You can use this function (with int type only) ;)

def raw_inputList(yourComment):
     listSTR=raw_input(yourComment)     
     listSTR =listSTR[1:len(listSTR)-1]
     listT = listSTR.split(",")
     listEnd=[]
     for caseListT in listT:
          listEnd.append(int(caseListT))
     return listEnd

This function return your list (with int type) !

Example :

yourList=raw_inputList("Enter Your List please :")

If you enter

"[1,2,3]" 

then

yourList=[1,2,3]
