Turns out I was close but had not combined everything. I never would
have picked up on the map() function. Much more efficient than looping
through the whole mess and converting to int.
x = ['[335, 180, 201, 241, 199]\r\n']
y = map( int, x[0].strip( '[]\r\n' ).split( ', ' ) ) #need an index here
print y
[335, 180, 201, 241, 199]
Thanks for your help!

For one line:
In [11]: s = '[335, 180, 201, 241, 199]\r\n'
In [12]: map(int, s.strip('[]\r\n').split(', '))
Out[12]: [335, 180, 201, 241, 199]
Modify appropriately to handle a list of lines.
