We're not going to do your homework for you.  What have you tried?  What errors are you getting?  If you're replying with your code or an error, make sure to use Copy/Paste and DO NOT just manually re-type the code or error.  Also, make sure to post the entire traceback.

If literal_eval is out of the question, take a look at the str.split() function.  I'd split on a comma, then for each result, split on the colon, then strip out the single quotes.

The actual coding of that is an exercise for the reader.
