if you've got a lob of Clojure data in a clj file, this gubbins will allow you to ingest it into python using the pyparsing library
lkey = Suppress(Literal(":")) + Word(printables)
lvalue = Forward()
lvalue << (QuotedString(quoteChar='"', escChar='\\')
^ Suppress('[') + Group(OneOrMore(QuotedString('"', escChar='\\'))) + Suppress(']')
^ Suppress('{') + Dict(delimitedList(Group(lkey + lvalue), delim=',')) + Suppress('}'))
row = Suppress("{") + Dict(delimitedList(Group(lkey + lvalue), delim=',')) + Suppress("}")
you call it with:
cljdict = row.parseString(row_of_clj data)
