I don't see why you would need dict.setdefault(), you have the necessary
pieces together:
data = pt.split(";")
pairs = (item.split() for item in data)
mydict = {item[0]: item[1].strip('"') for item in pairs if len(item) == 2}
You can protect against whitespace in the quoted strings with
item.split(None, 1) instead of item.split(). If ";" is allowed in the quoted
strings you have to work a little harder.
