title: Converting an list to a dictionary in python
body: <p>I'm trying to convert a list that is in the form of a dictionary to an actual dictionary. </p>
  
  <p>This is for a webs scraping tool. I've tried removing to the single <code>''</code> and setting as a dictionary, but I am new to programming and I think my logic is off in some way. </p>
  
  <p>My list is of the form</p>
  
  <pre><code>['"name":"jack"', '"address":"1234 College Ave"']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to convert general form to a dictionary of the form</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"name":"jack", "address":"1234 College Ave"}
  </code></pre>
