You can use ast.literal_eval

from ast import literal_eval

for k,v in literal_eval("{'item1': 1, 'item2': 2, 'item3': 3, 'item4': 4}").items():
    print("{} == {}".format(k,v))

Output

item3 == 3
item2 == 2
item1 == 1
item4 == 4

try this

In [19]: value = "{'item1':1, 'item2':2, 'item3', 'item4':4}"

In [20]: value = ast.literal_eval(value)

In [21]: for i in value:
    print i + "=" + str(value[i])



 ....     
item2=2
item3=3
item1=1
item4=4
