Use dict() and str.split:

>>> s = "1:5.9,1p5:7,2:10,4:18,8:40"
>>> dict(item.split(':') for item in s.split(','))
{'1': '5.9', '8': '40', '2': '10', '4': '18', '1p5': '7'}

Using a dict-comprehension:

>>> {k:v for k, v in (item.split(':') for item in s.split(','))}
{'1': '5.9', '8': '40', '2': '10', '4': '18', '1p5': '7'}
