  <p>If I have the script tag selected with beautifulsoup, how then can I get that (JSON ?) dictionary as a Python Dict?</p>
  
  <p>First I would need to select only that JSON object - <strong>how can I do that?</strong></p>
  
  <p>And than I would need to translate that JSON object to a Python Dict.</p>
