About this tool

Python lists are frequently needed for scripts, notebooks, tests, and data-cleaning tasks. This tool removes repetitive quoting and comma insertion.

The output preserves every item as a string and escapes backslashes, selected quotes, tabs, and control characters.

FAQ

Will numeric-looking values become numbers?+

No. Values such as 0012 stay quoted strings so their original representation is preserved.

Can I omit the variable assignment?+

Yes. Clear the variable-name field to output only the Python list literal.
