It looks like you have a string which starts and ends with square
brackets and is a repeated group of (integer, comma (and perhaps
space)). What you don't have is a "string with a list in it" :-)
One solution:
s="[16, 16, 2, 16, 2, 16, 8, 16]"
mylist=[int(s.strip()) for s in s[1:-1].split(',')]

Ex."[16, 16, 2, 16, 2, 16, 8, 16]"-string
to [16, 16, 2, 16, 2, 16, 8, 16] -list

If you know the string doesn't contain anything evil (that is you control where
it comes from) you can also do:
mylist=eval(s)
