这是你能做到的，

**

x = '[ "A","B","C" , " D"]'
print(list(eval(x)))

**最好的答案是公认的答案

虽然这不是一个安全的方法，但最好的答案是公认的。当答案发布时，我并没有意识到评估的危险。

不需要导入任何内容或进行评估。对于大多数基本用例，包括原始问题中给出的用例，您可以在一行中完成此操作。

一个衬垫

l_x = [i.strip() for i in x[1:-1].replace('"',"").split(',')]

解释

x = '[ "A","B","C" , " D"]'
# String indexing to eliminate the brackets.
# Replace, as split will otherwise retain the quotes in the returned list
# Split to convert to a list
l_x = x[1:-1].replace('"',"").split(',')

输出：

for i in range(0, len(l_x)):
    print(l_x[i])
# vvvv output vvvvv
'''
 A
B
C
  D
'''
print(type(l_x)) # out: class 'list'
print(len(l_x)) # out: 4

您可以根据需要使用列表理解来解析和清理此列表。

l_x = [i.strip() for i in l_x] # list comprehension to clean up
for i in range(0, len(l_x)):
    print(l_x[i])
# vvvvv output vvvvv
'''
A
B
C
D
'''

嵌套列表

如果您有嵌套列表，它确实会变得有点烦人。如果不使用正则表达式（这将简化替换），并且假设您希望返回一个扁平列表（python的zen表示扁平优于嵌套）：

x = '[ "A","B","C" , " D", ["E","F","G"]]'
l_x = x[1:-1].split(',')
l_x = [i
    .replace(']', '')
    .replace('[', '')
    .replace('"', '')
    .strip() for i in l_x
]
# returns ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G']

如果您需要保留嵌套列表，它会变得有点难看，但仍然可以通过正则表达式和列表理解来完成：

import re

x = '[ "A","B","C" , " D", "["E","F","G"]","Z", "Y", "["H","I","J"]", "K", "L"]'
# Clean it up so the regular expression is simpler
x = x.replace('"', '').replace(' ', '')
# Look ahead for the bracketed text that signifies nested list
l_x = re.split(r',(?=\[[A-Za-z0-9\',]+\])|(?<=\]),', x[1:-1])
print(l_x)
# Flatten and split the non nested list items
l_x0 = [item for items in l_x for item in items.split(',') if not '[' in items]
# Convert the nested lists to lists
l_x1 = [
    i[1:-1].split(',') for i in l_x if '[' in i
]
# Add the two lists
l_x = l_x0 + l_x1

最后一个解决方案可以处理任何以字符串形式存储的列表，无论是否嵌套。

因此，根据所有答案，我决定对最常见的方法进行计时：

from time import time
import re
import json

my_str = str(list(range(19)))
print(my_str)

reps = 100000

start = time()
for i in range(0, reps):
    re.findall("\w+", my_str)
print("Regex method:\t", (time() - start) / reps)

start = time()
for i in range(0, reps):
    json.loads(my_str)
print("JSON method:\t", (time() - start) / reps)

start = time()
for i in range(0, reps):
    ast.literal_eval(my_str)
print("AST method:\t\t", (time() - start) / reps)

start = time()
for i in range(0, reps):
    [n.strip() for n in my_str]
print("strip method:\t", (time() - start) / reps)

    regex method:     6.391477584838867e-07
    json method:     2.535374164581299e-06
    ast method:         2.4425282478332518e-05
    strip method:     4.983267784118653e-06

所以最终正则表达式获胜！

使用纯Python-不导入任何库：

[x for x in  x.split('[')[1].split(']')[0].split('"')[1:-1] if x not in[',',' , ',', ']]

有一个快速解决方案：

x = eval('[ "A","B","C" , " D"]')

可以通过以下方式删除列表元素中不需要的空白：

x = [x.strip() for x in eval('[ "A","B","C" , " D"]')]

import ast
l = ast.literal_eval('[ "A","B","C" , " D"]')
l = [i.strip() for i in l]
