Parsing javascript data structure in python [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to find a parser for python that can parse the data structure (to a python dictionary) that is written below (this data structure was taken from var variable in javascript).

{
    a: "a",
    b: 54,
    c: [
        {
            d: "d",
            e: false
        },
        {
            f: "f"
        }
    ]
};

You could probably use json, which is Javascript-Object-notation after all... — juanpa.arrivillaga

Hmm, actually, no you couldn't, because a, b etc would have to be strings. — juanpa.arrivillaga

`demjson.decode()`

import demjson

# from
js_obj = '{x:1, y:2, z:3}'

# to
py_obj = demjson.decode(js_obj)

`jsonnet.evaluate_snippet()`

import json, _jsonnet

# from
js_obj = '{x:1, y:2, z:3}'

# to
py_obj = json.loads(_jsonnet.evaluate_snippet('snippet', js_obj))

`ast.literal_eval()`

import ast

# from
js_obj = "{'x':1, 'y':2, 'z':3}"

# to
py_obj = ast.literal_eval(js_obj)

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to somehow link the answer I got this from, so I copied/pasted instead. Source: stackoverflow.com/questions/24027589/…

The ; in the end needed to be removed from my string and it will work with demjson, Thanks.

Unfortunately none of these tools can be installed anymore
