If you can predetermine the possible types of the data fields at compile time (I don't know how to avoid this constraint anyway because you need to convert the string data to the field types, as well in Python as in C++) you could use:

std::map< std::string, boost::variant< std::string, int, bool > > parsed;

if your predetermined types are string, int, bool.

For more info, see http://www.boost.org/.
