We don't know how is encoded the original string of bytes.

Suppose they are in json:

import json
tuple(json.loads(data))

#('1', '2', '3')

If they (unfortunately) are a py representation:

tuple(eval(data))

#('1', '2', '3')

The main question is, how are they encoded in a string?

One approach is first to decode the byte-string then use ast.literal_eval to convert it to list:

from ast import literal_eval

data = b'["1","2","3"]'
res = literal_eval(data.decode("utf-8"))
res = tuple(res)
print(res)

Output

('1', '2', '3')
