If there are multiple comma-separated values on a single line, here's code to parse that out:

    res = {}                                                                                                                                                                                             

    pairs = args.split(", ")                                                                                                                                                                             
    for p in pairs:                                                                                                                                                                                      
        var, val = p.split("=")                                                                                                                                                                          
        res[var] = val
