I am going to read a text file that is an export from a control

It has lines with information like
base=1 name="first one" color=blue
I would like to put this info into a dictionary for processing.
import shlex
s = 'base=1 name="first one" color=blue equal="alpha=beta" empty'
dict(t.partition("=")[::2] for t in shlex.split(s))
{'color': 'blue', 'base': '1', 'name': 'first one', 'empty': '', 'equal':
'alpha=beta'}
Brilliant!
The thing I appreciated about Peter's solution was learning a
purpose for .partition() as I've always just used .split(), so I
would have done something like
>>> dict('=' in s and s.split('=', 1) or (s, '') for s in
shlex.split(s))
{'color': 'blue', 'base': '1', 'name': 'first one', 'empty': '',
'equal': 'alpha=beta'}
Using .partition() makes that a lot cleaner. However, it looks
like .partition() was added in 2.5, so for my code stuck in 2.4
deployments, I'll stick with the uglier .split()
