Asking a list from a user then convert it to string in Python
<p>I need help for my homework. First I need to ask for a list from a user then I
need to convert it to string. Then program ask another list for converting. I
have found this piece of code</p>

<pre><code>lst = input ( " enter your list : " )
lst
mystring = "".join(lst)
print mystring
</code></pre>

<p>(Assume that user inputs <code>["1","2","3"]</code>: the result is <code>123</code>)</p>

<p>But what if the user inputs elements of the list without quotes (like <code>[1,2,3]</code>)?</p>
