hi
i have some output that returns a lines of tuples eg

('sometext1', 1421248118, 1, 'P ')
('sometext2', 1421248338, 2, 'S ')
and so on
....


If the braces are always at the begining and at the end of the string,
you could also use:

>>> "('sometext1', 1421248118, 1, 'P ')"[1:-1]
"'sometext1', 1421248118, 1, 'P '"

cheers
