как преобразовать абсурдную строку в список

Я хочу конвертировать

'["$.insert("//localhost:0000/aaaa/js/", function() {});", "$.functions($)("//localhost:0000/aaa2/js/", function() {});", "$.placeholder.id+"&_uid="+$.p.token+"&_ref="+$.p.url;"]'

в

["$.insert("//localhost:0000/aaaa/js/", function() {});", "$.functions($)("//localhost:0000/aaa2/js/", function() {});", "$.placeholder.id+"&_uid="+$.p.token+"&_ref="+$.p.url;"]

В Django JSON:

{

"templates": ["$.insert("//localhost:0000/aaaa/js/", function() {});", 
"$.functions($)("//localhost:0000/aaa2/js/", function() {});", "$.placeholder.id+"&_uid="+$.p.token+"&_ref="+$.p.url;"]

}
