That's a string that just looks like a list.

There are no data fields in a string.

That's character 5 of the string.

You have to parse it. I don't know what rules you used at the php 
end, but at a guess, I'd start by stripping the brackets, then 
splitting by comma. Then iterate through each item looking for 
special cases. Each item consisting of null gets replaced by None, 
each item starting with quotes gets them stripped,  and perhaps 
anything else is replaced by float (item).

Still questions to ask like whether quoted item can have embedded 
comma.
