So I have ended up with a string after parsing some javascript function on an HTML page. The string is as follows:

a = '[{"arjun":1,"samir":2},{"ryan":3, "jarret": 9}]'

As is evident, the string is a list of dicts in essence.How do I convert it to a python list?

You have JSON data (JSON is a narrow subset of Javascript). Just decode this with `json.loads()`. – Martijn Pieters Sep 10 '16 at 11:54
