>>> import json
>>> a = "[156, 100, 713]"
>>> json.loads(a)
[156, 100, 713]

use ast.literal_eval on it and you're done. Here you don't have all the security issues of regular eval and you don't need to worry about making sure your string is well formed, etc. Of course, if you really want to parse this thing yourself, you can do it with a pretty simple list-comprehension:

s = "[156, 100, 713]"
print [ int(x) for x in s.translate(None,'[]').split(',') ]

Try this:

import ast
res = ast.literal_eval('[156, 100, 713]')
