Question

so if

then

Answer 1

If you have a string 'my_string' like this:

a=123 b=456 c='hello'

Then you can pass it to a function 'my_fun' like this:

my_fun(**eval('{' + my_string.replace(' ', ',') + '}'))

Depending on the precise formatting of my_string, you may have to vary this a little, but this should get you 90% of the way there.
