What you want is a serialisation solution - turning objects into a
string format, and vice versa. Python provides a system for this in
its standard library, in the pickle module. Some pseudocode might look
like:

#sender
import pickle
socket_send(pickle.dumps(my_list))

#receiver
import pickle
my_list = pickle.loads(read_all_socket_data())

However, this should only be used if you trust where the data is
coming from; with untrusted data, a more restrictive format (such as
JSON, perhaps, or a similar lightweight notation system if you are
only sending lists) would be a good idea.
