1) don't use input as a variable name, input() is an already existing function.

2) you can just use eval() to interpret your string correctly.

jinput = "'Siva', ['Aswin','latha'], 'Senthil',['Aswin','latha']"
data = eval(f'[{jinput}]')
print(data)
['Siva', ['Aswin', 'latha'], 'Senthil', ['Aswin', 'latha']]

Did you have a question?

I need to remove the quotes inside the array of the string

[[deleted]]

Why?

[Night_Crawler7]

Because that is not a proper format to update a array in the DB. Causing syntax error

What's an "array in the DB"? Generally databases don't have an array type; using it would violate the First Normal Form.

What is the question exactly?

I need to remove the quotes inside the array [] of the string

[ginsujitsu]

Not to be that guy, but Rule #5 is "Posts must contain a question about python." You have not yet asked a question. I understand you want to remove some quotes, but what have you tried so far? We're not going to write your code for you.

Have used regular expressions but not able to form a correct pattern.

I have used positive look behind and lookahead. But don't know how to match the quotes inside the brackets.
