How to remove the single quotation mark from a list in Python

I am trying to remove the single quotation marks from this list:

list = ['amazed, 10']

and convert it to 

list = ['amazed', 10]

I used list= [x.strip('') for x in list] but it does not work.

Is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Try:

lst = ['amazed, 10']

lst = [int(i) if i.isdigit() else i for i in lst[0].replace(',', '').split()]

First you need to split your list to two elements. Next, strip white space and than convert the second element (a string of number) to number (Iv'e converted it to integer but you can convert to float or whatever). 

ll = ['amazed, 10']
ll = ll[0].split(",")
ll[1] = int(ll[1].strip())

as it is a single item in the list, u can split the string using split() method.

list=list[0].split(', ')

it will give two separate strings.

You can try:

>>> l = ['amazed, 10']
>>> l = l[0].split(", ")
>>> l
['amazed', ' 10']

You need to split but not strip, as your list contains a single string 'amazed, 10' that expected to be split into 2 items - 'amazed' and 10:

lst = ['amazed, 10']
lst = [int(i) if i.isdigit() else i for i in lst[0].split(', ')]
print(lst)

The output:

['amazed', 10]
