Hi, I m not sure what your trying to do, but this is where your problem is:
string1 is not a string it is actually a dict because of your eval. When you call string1["param"] inside the string.split() it is returning a dictionary and not a string.... 'param': {'key': 'SP<136>=', 'value': ['SD:<0> ']} since {'key': 'SP<136>=', 'value': ['SD:<0> ']} is inside curly brackets it is a dictionary. I still dont get what your trying to have as your final result, but hope this helps.
