I have solved it myself - must search more before posting!
If anyone at my kind of level is interested:-
>>> mystring = "[(1,2), (3,4)]"
>>> mylist = eval(mystring)
>>> mylist
[(1,2), (3,4)]
>>> type(mylist)
<type 'list'>
Thanks

Please excuse the obviousness of my question (if it is), but I have
searched the documentation for how to generate a list e.g. [(1,2),
(3,4)] from a string "[(1,2), (3,4)]". I wonder if someone could point
me in the right direction.
Many thanks
