I still hold my vote that if you need to reverse the
stringification of a list, you shouldn't have stringified the list

Another solution, possibly safer:
from cStringIO import StringIO
import csv
s = [16, 16, 2, 16, 2, 16, 8, 16]
sf = StringIO(s.strip()[1:-1])
list(csv.reader(sf))
[['16', ' 16', ' 2', ' 16', ' 2', ' 16', ' 8', ' 16']]
