You might want to use a recursive function to extract all the key, value pairs.

def extract(dict_in, dict_out):
    for key, value in dict_in.iteritems():
        if isinstance(value, dict): # If value itself is dictionary
            extract(value, dict_out)
        elif isinstance(value, unicode):
            # Write to dict_out
            dict_out[key] = value
    return dict_out

Something of this sort. I come from C++ background so I had to google for all the syntaxes.
