you can do it in two ways :

1 - define your data like a json , and pass json to method :

def checkActionType(jsondata):
    print("In checkActionType method") 
    print type(jsondata)
    action=str(jsondata["action"])

defining data :

data = {'userId': 3, 'module': 'report', 'clientId': 3, 'action': 'tablestats'}

using it :

r = checkActionType(data)

2 - pass the String instead :

def checkActionType(jsondata):
    print("In checkActionType method") 
    print type(jsondata)
    jsonformat = json.loads(jsondata)
    action=str(jsonformat["action"])

and pass this data instead :

data = "{'userId': 3, 'module': 'report', 'clientId': 3, 'action': 'tablestats'}"

call it :

r = checkActionType(data)

You data isn't a valid json which can be converted into dictionary, it's actually a dictinary, data shall be a valid json string, try to pass data below as a parameter:

data = '{"action": "tablestats", "userId": 3, "clientId": 3, "module": "report"}'

See more about json in the article "JSON: What It Is, How It Works, & How to Use It"
