Because it is a sledgehammer: capable of driving in nails or breaking
rocks. Most times people say 'I want to use eval' they are using it to
drive nails and some
Thanks. I didn't know eval could do that. But why do many posts say
they want a solution that doesn't use eval?

I am sure something much more elaborate will show it's face but this I
made in about 10 minutes. Didn't do much testing on it but it certainly
does convert your string modeled after a dictionary into a real
dictionary. You might wish to check against more variations and
possibilities and tweak and

b = eval(a)
(if a contains a dict-repr)

Hi,
How do I convert a string like:
a="{'syllable': u'cv-i b.v^ y^-f', 'ketiv-qere': 'n', 'wordWTS': u'8'}"
into a dictionary:
b={'syllable': u'cv-i b.v^ y^-f', 'ketiv-qere': 'n', 'wordWTS': u'8'}
Thanks, Matthew
PS why in Python is it so often easy to convert one way but not the
other?
