Passing an array of string from Brownie Python deployment script to Smart contract

Question

I am using brownie python script to interact with smart contract. In the smart contract there is a function which accepts string array as argument like below

function Multiple(string[] memory my_ids) public onlyOwner {
    for (uint i = 0; i < my_ids.length; i++) {
        performCalc(my_ids[i]);
    }
}

In python I tried several ways to pass but its always giving me error. The code I used is

parser.add_argument('--mylist', type=str, help='Provide List')

Then passing to the smart contract by

if args.mylist:
    Multiple(args.mylist)

The error received is

TypeError: Multiple '[troy1,troy2,troy3]' - Expected list or tuple, got str

If passed from python like ["['troy1','troy2','troy3']"], then error wont be there. But characters are splitted and considered as

['[', '[', "'", 't', 'r', 'o', 'y', '1', "'", ',', "'", 't', 'r', 'o', 'y', '2', "'", ',', "'", 't', 'r', 'o', 'y', '3', "'", ']', ']']

In remix IDE

If argument is given like ['troy1','troy2','troy3'], it works
