title: Convert a Python Data list to a bash array
body: <p>I have a bash script that is calling a python script like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>OUTPUT=$(python /path/path/script.py attr attr attr);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The python script will return a data list like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[item1, item2, item3]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I convert the $OUPUT variable which is a string of the return python data list into a bash array?</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to read each item in bash if possible.</p>
