Python split up data from print string

Question

This is my first post here, if my post dont follow the "standard" you know why. And iam realy new to python and programming, i am trying to learn as i go.

I am using a script thats Controls my Husqvarna Automower

In that script there is a line that i dont understand and i would like to change the outcome of.

print(dict(mow.status()['mowerInfo']))

When i run the script i get an print out like this

{u'storedTimestamp': u'1472541846629', u'hdop': u'0.0', u'latitude': u'57.57320833333333', u'lastErrorCode': u'0', u'nextStartTimestamp': u'1472587200', u'mowerStatus': u'PARKED_TIMER', u'cachedSettingsUUID': u'c1029c29-ecd5-48bd-a27b-fa98c6985ff0', u'hostMessage': u'0', u'configChangeCounter': u'846', u'longitude': u'12.04773', u'nextStartSource': u'WEEK_TIMER', u'secondsOld': u'-1471069304597', u'gpsStatus': u'USING_GPS_MAP', u'gsmRssi': u'0', u'batteryPercent': u'100', u'connected': u'true', u'operatingMode': u'AUTO', u'lastErrorCodeTimestamp': u'0'}

I understands that this line executes the "status" function and prints the outcome, but i dont realy understand the dict and the ['mowerInfo'] and why i cant find any referens to ['mowerInfo'] anywere else in the script. As i understand there should be a dictonary in the script. But i cant find it.

And now to accual the question

Insteed of the print command, a would like to get som of the information parsed inte variables insteed.

For examples would i like to have a variable called mowerStatus and it should have the value PARKED_TIMER and a variable called batteryPercent and it should have the value 100

The script is runned by a smarthomesolution called Indigodomo and is runed on a mac using python 2.6

Anyone knows how to do that?

I have modified the script from the original

here is my modified script (with my credential XXed out)

dic_info = dict(mow.status()['mowerInfo'])
mowerStatus = dic_info.get('mowerStatus')
batteryPercent = dic_info.get('batteryPercent')
