How do you read in a dataframe with lists using pd.read_clipboard?

Question

Here\'s some data from another question:

                          positive                 negative          neutral
1   [marvel, moral, bold, destiny]              


        

Answer 1

Another alternative is

In [43]:  df.applymap(lambda x: x[1:-1].split(', '))
Out[43]: 
                         positive                negative         neutral
1  [marvel, moral, bold, destiny]                      []  [view, should]
2                     [beautiful]     [complicated, need]              []
3                     [celebrate]  [crippling, addiction]           [big]

Note that this assumes the first and last character in each cell is [ and ]. It also assumes there is exactly one space after the commas.
