Avoid extra comma while importing a text file as a vector?

Questions

Hello everyone. I am currently having some issues using Import on a txt file which is a Python output.
When I import said file as a vector, a comma appears before one of the elements, making it impossible to work with said vector. I will adjoint images of my problem in case someone can aid me.

Thanks in advance.

Problem is caused by the \n (newline) characters. The Table format for Import uses \n to delimit rows. Can you modify the Python code to not insert a newline between [ ]? If not, probably best to use sed or awk to remove those newlines. You could also import as a string and munge it using WL. e.g.

import = Import["nodes.txt", "Text"];
string = import // StringReplace[{"\n" -> " ", "[" -> "{", "]" -> "}"}] // StringReplace[" " -> ","];
list = "{" <> string <> "}" // ToExpression
