Convert a Python string without quotes to dictionary

import yaml
d = yaml.safe_load("{Name: 2, Test: 52, Number: 150}")
print(d)
# {'Name': 2, 'Test': 52, 'Number': 150}

Bear in mind however the possible implications of YAML syntax, eg. a NO in the string would be interpreted as boolean False.

IF you don’t want to use a YAML parser, AND can be sure that the format of the string will be as shown in your example, you can also do it with only builtin functions:

s = "{Name: 2, Test: 52, Number: 150}"
s1 = s[1:-1].split(", ")
d = {}
for item in s1:
  k, v = item.split(": ")
  d[k] = int(v) if v.isnumeric() else v

If your actual format is really as simple as your example, it’s not too hard to do:

>>> a_string = "{Name: 2, Test: 52, Number: 150}"
>>> cleaned = a_string.strip().lstrip('{').rstrip('}')
>>> cleaned
'Name: 2, Test: 52, Number: 150'
>>> pairs = [part.split(':') for part in cleaned.split(',')]
>>> pairs
[['Name', ' 2'], [' Test', ' 52'], [' Number', ' 150']]
>>> {pair[0].strip(): int(pair[1].strip()) for pair in pairs}
{'Name': 2, 'Test': 52, 'Number': 150}

If it’s more complex, or may become more complex in the future, I would recommend a YAML or JSON5 parser instead.

first you somehow need to convert your keys to strings (or anything other than just text). e.g. from

"{Name: 2, Test: 52, Number: 150}"

to

"{'Name': 2, 'Test': 52, 'Number': 150}"

then you can use the ast module

>>> import ast
>>> ast.literal_eval("{'Name': 2, 'Test': 52, 'Number': 150}")
{'Name': 2, 'Test': 52, 'Number': 150}

If keys are string and values are int, You can use regex and replace key with "key" then use ast.literal_eval or json.loads.

import re
import ast
import json
a_string = "{Name: 2, Test: 52, Number: 150}"
res = re.sub(r'([a-zA-Z]+)', r'"1"', a_string)  # Name -> "Name"
ast.literal_eval(res)
json.loads(res)
# {'Name': 2, 'Test': 52, 'Number': 150}
