I already read different post regarding python conversion from str to dic but I still have problems and I can't convert my str in dictionary.
this is my original string:

I try to tidy up a bit with
replace("false","False")
replace("true","True")
replace('"',"'")
So I got back:

I'm trying different methods:
import json
json.loads(MY_STR)
import ast
ast.literal_eval(MY_STR)
etc...
but all of them give me back some kind of error, could you please help me?
Surround your original string with square brackets to make it a valid JSON string:
import json
valid_json_string = "[" + your_string + "]" # or "[{0}]".format(your_string)
data = json.loads(valid_json_string)
