How to extract string from python list

Feels like this should be easy, but I can't find the right keywords to search for the answer.

Given ['"https://container.blob.core.windows.net/"'] as results from a python statement...

...how do I extract only the URL and drop the ['" and "']?

How about using regex??

In [35]: url_list = ['"https://container.blob.core.windows.net/"']

In [36]: url = re.findall('http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*\(\), ]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+', url_list[
    ...: 0])[0]

In [37]: print(url)
https://container.blob.core.windows.net/

How about getting first element using list[0] and remove the single quotes from it using replace() or strip() ? 

 print(list[0].replace("'",""))

OR

print(list[0].strip("'")

You want the first element of the list without the first and last char 

>>> l[0][1:-1]
'https://container.blob.core.windows.net/'

try:

a = ['"https://container.blob.core.windows.net/"']
result = a[0].replace("\"","")
print(result)

Result:

'https://container.blob.core.windows.net/'

As a python string.
