Using eval is a big security risk and is generally not recommended for any production code. What do you think eval() return for your string? A tuple of ints which for your use case serves the same purpose as using the list comprehension. If you really want (you really don't) to use eval() then at least use the safe one from the ast mode. >>> from ast import literal_eval >>> literal_eval(u'1,2,3,4') (1, 2, 3, 4) >>> eval(u'1,2,3,4') (1, 2, 3, 4) As you can see for your use case both return a tuple of ints.
