#Import literal_eval python package
from ast import literal_eval

#Here is your string formatted dictionary
older_string = "{'a':123, 'b':}"

print older_string

#output as below
"{'a':123, 'b':}"

#Now using literal_eval lib to convert string to dictionary.
new_string = literal_eval(older_string)

print new_string
