Not nice, especially if you can't control what is in s :)

A simple solution if you know s will always contain string
representations of integers is:

>>> s = "10, 20, 30"
>>> [int(x) for x in s.split(',')]
[10, 20, 30]
>>>

Otherwise a good starting point might be:

>>> for i in s.split(','):

HTH :)
