String to Dictionary Python

Question

For example I have line like this:

iamonlywhoknock BREAKINGBAD

what means

'iamonlywhoknock BREAKINGBAD\n'

Its str, but I need to create Dict, like this:

{"iamonlywhoknock":"BREAKINGBAD"}

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Something like this?

>>> s='iamonlywhoknock BREAKINGBAD\n'
>>> k, v = s.split()
>>> {k: v}
{'iamonlywhoknock': 'BREAKINGBAD'}

Answer 2

x='iamonlywhoknock BREAKINGBAD\n'.split(" ")
mydict={x[0]:x[1]}

This should work for you. It is basic string splitting :)
