You haven't presented an actual use case, it would be interesting to see one.
Regardless of that, however, ast.literal_eval is an exposure of the literal value parsing part of the AST. set() is not part of that, because it is not a literal, it is a function call.
There has been some discussion of adding a "safe_eval" function to the stdlib (see issue 22525), and that would be the appropriate place to introduce evaluation of set().
python-ideas would be the appropriate place to discuss safe_eval. |
