Error: “dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required” on Django 1.4

Question

I have an error message on django 1.4:

dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required

[EDIT]

It happe

Answer 1

I got this error when I was messing around with string and dictionary.

dict1 = {'taras': 'vaskiv', 'iruna': 'vaskiv'}
str1 = str(dict1)
dict(str1)
*** ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required

So what you actually got to do to get dict from string is:

dic2 = eval(str1)
dic2
{'taras': 'vaskiv', 'iruna': 'vaskiv'}

Or in matter of security we can use literal_eval

from ast import literal_eval
