Following up on Ben's comment, what did you expect? With my Python hat
on, I'd say you've got a string representing a tuple of four
dictionaries, though my human brain can see past the missing '}' which
is supposed to close the second dict. If you add that, it's still not
valid JSON (I guess JSON doesn't have tuples). This stuff isn't meant
to be typed by humans. Instead computers are supposed to barf it out
and munch on it. As Ben indicated, putting it in a string is
pointless. Might as well just define the dictionaries yourself.

JSON has sequences, which both Python lists and tuples serialize as 
(losing the distinction between them).  In the other direction, JSON 
sequences typically unpack as lists, but I think that's just convention.  
There might be json packages which unpack them as tuples.
