How to Load a String Into a Python Dictionary
Python has a number of different data types including strings, tuples and dictionaries. A dictionary contains multiple key value pairs. For example, if you were keeping a list of lunch orders for the office each co-worker would be a "key" and his lunch choice would be the corresponding "value." A Python dictionary of this information might look like: { john: 'sandwich', margaret: 'salad', josie: 'fruit' }.
