    for row in reader: # each row is a list
        results.append(row)

ValueError: could not convert string to float: ' [1'

Answer 1

You can do this:

with open("Solutions10.csv") as csvfile:
    result = [eval(k) for k in csvfile.readlines()]

Edit: Karl is cranky and wants you todo this:

with open("Solutions10.csv") as csvfile:
    result = []
    for line in csvfile.readlines():
        line = line.replace("[","").replace("]","")
        result.append([int(k) for k in line.split(",")]

But you're the programmer so you can do what you want. If you trust your input file eval is fine.
