title: Python - converting textfile contents into dictionary values/keys easily
body: <p>Let's say I have a text file with the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>line = "this is line 1"
  line2 = "this is the second line"
  line3 = "here is another line"
  line4 = "yet another line!"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I want to quickly convert these into dictionary keys/values with " line* " being the key and the text in quotes as the value while also removing the equals sign.  </p>
  
  <p>What would be the best way to do this in Python?  </p>
