Converting String-formatted Arrays Back to Array Objects in Multidimensional Embedded Arrays from CSV Files

convert.md

When a multidimensional embedded array is saved as a string in a CSV file, you can load it back and convert the string-formatted array into an array object.

def convert(item):
    item = item.strip()  
    item = item[1:-1]   
    item = np.fromstring(item, sep=' ') 
    return item
