Convert string to numpy array of arrays

Question

I have a string representation of a numpy array of arrays. How do you convert from this format to an array of arrays?

Does this answer your question? [Convert a String representation of a Dictionary to a dictionary?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/988228/convert-a-string-representation-of-a-dictionary-to-a-dictionary) — RichieV, Sep 01 '20 at 00:07
That's a vague description of your string. How did you create this string? You know, don't you, the normal way of creating an array from a list of lists? — hpaulj, Sep 01 '20 at 00:24

Using eval is the best solution

import numpy as np

a = "np.array([[1,2],[2,3]])"

a = eval(a)
