Maybe you like :

>>> x = 'qop = "auth,auth-int,auth-conf",cipher="rc4-40,rc4-56,rc4,des,
3des",maxbuf=1024,charset=utf-8,algorithm=md5-sess'

>>> dict(zip([k[-1].strip() for k in (j.split(',') for j in ''.join(i
for i in x if i != '"').split('='))][:-1], [k[:-1] or k for k in
(j.split(',') for j in ''.join(i for i in x if i != '"').split('='))][1:]))

{'maxbuf': ['1024'], 'cipher': ['rc4-40', 'rc4-56', 'rc4', 'des', '
3des'], 'charset': ['utf-8'], 'algorithm': ['md5-sess'], 'qop': ['
auth', 'auth-int', 'auth-conf']}
