bug: comma in list's value is not parsed properly

[seperman]

toml==0.10.1

>>> import toml
>>> toml_string = """
... a=[',', '']
... """
>>> toml.loads(toml_string)
{'a': ['', '', '']}

So the result's list's length is 3 instead of 2.

In the meantime, it's possible to work around this with unicode escapes:

my_list = [
    "Hello\u002C World!",
    "Lovely day\u002C isn't it?"
]

It's not pretty, but it works.

I was hit by this as well.

Hey @uiri It is the anniversary of this ticket. Any updates? Best

This hit me too - thanks for the workaround @ZeroKnight

By the way, I have stopped using this library. pip comes with a toml parser! And it doesn't have this annoying bug.

from pip._vendor import tomli
tomli.loads(contents)
