Overview

into the python eval and the most important thing in this library that make it unique is:
if your strings don't have any quotation no worries it will add quotations for you!

before:

! "{'this': 5, (Alex, Daniel): are good boys, (5, 4): 8.5}" 

after:

+ "{'this': 5, ('Alex', 'Daniel'): 'are good boys', (5, 4): 8.5}

# Example:
my_array = " ['Hello', Goodbye my friend, 2.5, (4, ok), {one: 450, 'two': 12}] "
my_array = tocode.literal_eval(my_array, no_string_quotation=True)
"""
  if some of the strings don't have quotation set `no_string_quotation` to True
  otherwise, set it to False or leave it.
"""
# will return the list into a python list
