Virtually no python objects accept a stringified version of themselves
in their constructor:
>>> str({})
'{}'
>>> dict('{}')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required
>>> str([])
'[]'
>>> list('[]')
['[', ']']
Python is not Perl.
