Sure.
data = txt.strip("}").split("{")
element = data[0].strip()
items = data[1].split(";")
for item in items:
data = item.split(":")
property = data[0].strip() # avoid this keyword
value = data[1].strip()
I didn't test this. Also, the module suggested in the other reply
might make more sense, depending on how much of this sort of thing you
need to do.
