converting string to tuple in python

Question

I have a string returnd from a software like \"(\'mono\')\" from that I needed to convert string to tuple .

that I was thinking using ast.literal_eval

Answer 1

Try to this

a = ('mono')
print tuple(a)      # <-- you create a tuple from a sequence 
                    #(which is a string)
print tuple([a])    # <-- you create a tuple from a sequence 
                    #(which is a list containing a string)
print tuple(list(a))# <-- you create a tuple from a sequence 
                    #     (which you create from a string)
print (a,)# <-- you create a tuple containing the string
print (a)

Output :

('m', 'o', 'n', 'o')
('mono',)
('m', 'o', 'n', 'o')
('mono',)
mono
