python unicode to list, reciving double double quotes

Question

I'm doing some fetching via tornado websocket and recive json data like this:

msg = [157,"tu","27213579-SD",229156181,1524173145,8265,0.08]

type(msg) -> unicode

now I have to convert it into datatype list. My first intention was the following:

msg = [e.encode('utf-8') for e in msg.strip('[]').split(',')]

but now there are double quotes

msg =["157",""tu"",""27213579-SD"","229156181","1524173145","8265","0.08"]

Do you know a smart way to get a clean python list?

Is that a python statement? How did you get `` to display? As shown, that's a python list. If its actually in a string, show that instead. — tdelaney, Apr 19 '18 at 22:07
...and where are these double double quotes? Showing the problem in the python shell and then copying that full session here can be helpful. — tdelaney, Apr 19 '18 at 22:09

sorry, I have revised my question. I hope it's more clear now. — Erwin Schleier, Apr 19 '18 at 23:30
Problem solved! json.loads(msg) is the function I have looking for. There is also a difference between json.load and json.loads, so if you have the same problem, take care that you aren't missing the s! — Erwin Schleier, Apr 20 '18 at 07:26

Use the json module to convert JSON to data:

#!python2
import json

msg = u'[157,"tu","27213579-SD",229156181,1524173145,8265,0.08]'
print type(msg)
data = json.loads(msg)
print type(data)
print data

Output:

<type 'unicode'>
<type 'list'>
[157, u'tu', u'27213579-SD', 229156181, 1524173145, 8265, 0.08]
