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)
