    Evaluate a string containing a Python literal expression without

    Parameters
    ----------
    source : str
        The string to evaluate.

    Returns
    -------
    obj : object
       The result of evaluating `source`.

    Raises
    ------
    SyntaxError
        If the code has invalid Python syntax, or if it contains

    Examples
    --------
    >>> np.safe_eval('1')
    1
    >>> np.safe_eval('[1, 2, 3]')
    [1, 2, 3]
    >>> np.safe_eval('{"foo": ("bar", 10.0)}')
