converting string into a tuple












0















My goal is to convert a string into a tuple



Currently, I have a string that is surround by parentheses with its contents separated by commas.



>>>'1, 4, 1994' (variable name birthday)

(1, 4, 1994) # desired output


I have been trying to use split() to convert the string into tuple, but 



tuple(birthday.split())

('1,', '4,', '1994')


but the contents are surrounded by subsequent parentheses.



What pythonic methods can I use to make the conversion?






python string python-3.x python-2.7 tuples

    I think one main thing here is that you need to split on the comma

You can do like this,



In [35]: tuple(map(int,birthday.split(',')))

Out[35]: (1, 4, 1994)


Problem with your spit function. Use , to split.

    You need to convert str to int and specify a sep argument for str.split:



    res = tuple(map(int, '1, 4, 1994'.split(', ')))  # (1, 4, 1994)

      You can use ast.literal_eval



      >>> import ast
      
>>> s = '1, 4, 1994'
      
>>> ast.literal_eval(s)
      
>>> (1,4,1994)
