In this case you are using the Python syntax to create a dictionary,
so it's not a surprise when it *is* a dictionary...
Are you sure that your external method returns this *text*? It seems
that you are looking at the string representation of some
dictionary-like object. You can convert any dictionary-like object
into a true dictionary using the builtin function dict:
d = dict(an_object_that_acts_like_a_dictionary)
