python - How to convert a list of tuples to a raw list in a more optimized manner -

here text file, consists of tuple on each line:

(1, 2) (3, 4) (5, 6)

what's both rough , optimized perspective read above file , generate list below structure:

[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]]

here current approach, not want:

with open("agentlistfile.txt") f:         agentlist = [agentlist.rstrip('\n') line in f.readlines()]

you can use ast.literal_eval safely evaluate tuple , convert tuples list inside list-comp, eg:

import ast open("agentlistfile.txt") f:     agent_list = [list(ast.literal_eval(line)) line in f]
