python - Converting list of list into 2 independent lists -

i have list of lists looks this:

lol=[['"buy":17'], ['"hold":18'], ['"sell":3']]

is there simple way convert list of lists 2 independent lists this?:

list1=["buy","hold","sell"] list2=[17,18,3]

first tried replace on list:

lol.replace('[','').replace(']','')

but outputed 'list' object has no attribute 'replace'

then thought use regular expressions on lol @ least obtaining numbers in independent list following code:

re.findall('\d{1,2}',lol.string)

but returned outputed expected string or bytes-like object

you can split strings on ':' , use ast.literal_eval produce final output:

import ast  l1, l2 = zip(*[map(ast.literal_eval, lst[0].split(':')) lst in lol]) print(l1, l2) # ('buy', 'hold', 'sell'), (17, 18, 3)
