Because you gave it a string. If you give it a dict, you'll get a
dict:
>>> import cPickle as pickle
>>> a = {1:2, 3:4}
>>> s = pickle.dumps(a, -1)
>>> g = pickle.loads(s)
>>> g
{1: 2, 3: 4}
If your existing database already has data in the "{...}" format, then
eval it only the first time. Then you'll get the dict which you can
cache thruogh the use of dumps/loads.
