One way is to use sage_eval
to evaluate a string as Sage code.
Running it on each line gives a list. Then make the list of those lists.
Using the example in the question:
sage: with open('somefile.txt', 'r') as fp:
....: L = [sage_eval(line) for line in fp.readlines() if line.strip()]
....:
sage: L
[[[1, 4], [2, 6], [5, 7]], [[1, 4], [2, 7], [5, 8]]]
The if line.strip()
test is to ignore any empty lines in the file.
