How to read a csv column as list and not as a string in python?

Question

I have a CSV file in which one column is a list of tuples. But when I am reading it in python the list of tuples is read as a string object.

Answer 1

Read csv using pandas, using following function

pandas.read_csv()

It will read list as string. To convert it into list use following function

import ast

ast.literal_eval()
