def FromGNString(input_string):
  """Converts the input string from a GN serialized value to Python values.

  For details on supported types see GNValueParser.Parse() below.

  If your GN script did:
    something = [ "file1", "file2" ]
    args = [ "--values=$something" ]
  The command line would look something like:
    --values="[ \"file1\", \"file2\" ]"
  Which when interpreted as a command line gives the value:
    [ "file1", "file2" ]

  You can parse this into a Python list using GN rules with:
    input_values = FromGNValues(options.values)
  Although the Python 'ast' module will parse many forms of such input, it
  will not handle GN escaping properly, nor GN booleans. You should use this
  function instead.


  A NOTE ON STRING HANDLING:

  If you just pass a string on the command line to your Python script, or use
  string interpolation on a string variable, the strings will not be quoted:
    str = "asdf"
    args = [ str, "--value=$str" ]
  Will yield the command line:
    asdf --value=asdf
  The unquoted asdf string will not be valid input to this function, which
  accepts only quoted strings like GN scripts. In such cases, you can just use
  the Python string literal directly.

  The main use cases for this is for other types, in particular lists. When
  using string interpolation on a list (as in the top example) the embedded
  strings will be quoted and escaped according to GN rules so the list can be
  re-parsed to get the same result.
