Is there a way to parse a list to combine 2 elements into 1?

Question

right now, am parsing a string into a list
i.e., str = (12*2)+(200/25)
list =['(' ,'1', '2', ')', '+', '(', '2', '0'. '0', '/', '2', '5', ')']

ok, so what I would like to do is combine the numbers so that i can turn them in to integers, the pull it all back down into a calculable problem. HELP!!! lol

I think you can use eval for your program's purpose: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#eval
