    Without knowing more details about the input (do we really need to check if the brackets are there? commas are valid inside a field? …) the simplest way probably is:

    >>> [s.strip() for s in input_line[1:-1].split(',')]
['update', '/CoaddedRegriddedFrame[1]/OBJECT[1]/text()[1]', 'Centaurus-AB']
