Ok, I tried this with your code and this as a single line in a file and
it worked for me. My modified version prints this:

{' clientname_001': '2.96116E+11'}
 clientname_001:2.96116e+11

It works the same in 2.7 and 3.1 (Linux, x86_64).

The only thing I can think of is the there is some other line that is
failing, one which does not conform to the pattern you expect and the
"float" is not actually being parsed out as you expect.
