convert string to numpy array python

I have a string like that:

'[[-1. ]
 [ 4.5]
 [ 0. ]]

[[ 8.]
 [ 0.]
 [ 6.]]

[[ 0.        ]
 [ 4.        ]
 [ 0.66666667]]'

and I want to convert into a NumPy array like this

array([[[-1.        ],
        [ 4.5       ],
        [ 0.        ]],

       [[ 8.        ],
        [ 0.        ],
        [ 6.        ]],

       [[ 0.        ],
        [ 4.        ],
        [ 0.66666667]]])

If you know the size before hand then

np.fromstring(
    s.replace('[', '').replace(']','').replace('\n', ''), 
                dtype=float, sep=' ').reshape(3,3)

Testcase:

s = '''[[-1. ]
 [ 4.5]
 [ 0. ]]

[[ 8.]
 [ 0.]
 [ 6.]]

[[ 0.        ]
 [ 4.        ]
 [ 0.66666667]]'''

np.fromstring(
    s.replace('[', '').replace(']','').replace('\n', ''), 
                dtype=float, sep=' ').reshape(3,3)

Output:

array([[-1.        ,  4.5       ,  0.        ],
       [ 8.        ,  0.        ,  6.        ],
       [ 0.        ,  4.        ,  0.66666667]])
