Importing a list of tuples genrated in python to MATLAB

I have a list of tuples generated in python. The list is save in a text file and loaded in MATLAB.

[(2, 4), (2, 12), (2, 8)]

I'd like to import the list in MATLAB as a matrix?

Any suggestion on how this can be done?

matrix=load('mytext.txt')

It returns

Unknown text on line number 1 of ASCII file list.txt
"[(2".

Text file contains:

[(2, 4), (2, 12), (2, 8)]

I'd like to import it as [2,4;2,12;2,8]

From what I understand, the list of tuples in MATLAB is written as

[[2,3],[3,4]]

But, the python output of list of tuples is

[(2, 4), (2, 12)]

Sorry, I am still not sure about how to use

py.tuple

while importing the data from text file

[madhan ravi]

See the example below:

>> py.list({py.list([1,2]),py.list([3,4])})
ans = 
  Python list with no properties.

    [[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]]

The problem is I am not able to import the file using load function
