Python – Convert string to list

I am working at a "cloud server" for myself. I have a tool to list files which are on the server.

flist = os.listdir("C:/Server")
conn.send(bytes("str(flist), "UTF-8"))

This sends a list to the client, the client converts it to a string. (something like this: [' Arcer.exe', 'Launcher.exe', 'Document.txt']) Now how can I convert the string back into a list?

string = "[' Arcer.exe', 'Launcher.exe', 'Document.txt']"
list = []
list = string.convert #pseudo method
print(list[0]) #Arcer.exe
print(list[1]) #Launcher.exe

    Note that the last won't work if any of the strings have a comma in them. Commented Oct 13, 2018 at 19:57
