Convert python string "['a', 'b']" to list

Question

I have a form that save lists as strings, I want to convert those strings to lists before save in DB.

I'm using python3 and Django.

The strings looks like: '["MEX","MTY","GDL","BJX","QRO","PBC","TLC","CUN","EM","CUU"]'

what will be the most pythonic way to do that?
