How to convert column name of dataframe from string to tuple in python?

Question

I have a dataframe column names which are in form of string I would like to convert it into tuple, which shows the data inside of those column names. I have used "eval" but since its dangerous to use is there any other way to convert?

input: dt = "df['cars'],df['bikes']"
output: dt = (df['cars'],df['bikes'])

What do you want to be printed when you run print(dt)? You cannot get (df['cars'],df['bikes']) if this is what you want. It will print the entire column instead — IoaTzimas

So, basically I am dealing with flask and html. When a user sends a input(say the columns names) it will be received as a string, I want them to be converted into tuple for doing further operation. — Ram dr

This is a different question. Amend your question or create a new one (delete this one) providing your relevant flask and html code — IoaTzimas

use spit(',') method

dt = "df['cars'],df['bikes']"
tu = tuple(dt.split(','))
print(tu)

output: ("df['cars']", "df['bikes']")
