Pb with an AttributeError

[Nathan Harmston]

Hi,

I m not sure what your trying to do, but this is where your problem is:

string1 is not a string it is actually a dict because of your eval.
When you call
string1["param"] inside the string.split()

it is returning a dictionary and not a string....
'param': {'key': 'SP<136>=', 'value': ['SD:<0> ']}

since {'key': 'SP<136>=', 'value': ['SD:<0> ']} is inside curly
brackets it is a dictionary.

I still dont get what your trying to have as your final result, but
hope this helps.

Thanks

Nathan
