Use the ast module:

import ast
tf = ['True', 'False', 'False']
print(type(ast.literal_eval(tf[0])))
print(ast.literal_eval(tf[0]))

Result:

<class 'bool'>
True

Ast Documentation

Literal_eval

you can use: eval(tf[0]) for that task.

You can compare each element of the tf list with True or False

for idx, val in enumerate(tf):
    if val == "True":
        tf[idx] = True
    else:
        tf[idx] = False

Simply use a dictionary to map the strings and boolean values

tf = ['True', 'False', 'False']
toBool = {'True':True,'False':False}
print(toBool[tf[0]])
