Reupload, How do i convert a php file to python dictionary?

After going over de fora, i did not find something that could solve this issue properly. I want to convert a file written in php to a python dictionary. In this case this file is a converted TrueType Font-file.

<?php
$type = 'TrueType';
$name = 'Calibri';
$desc = array('Ascent'=>750,'Descent'=>-250,'CapHeight'=>632,'Flags'=>32,'FontBBox'=>'[-503 -313 1240 1026]','ItalicAngle'=>0,'StemV'=>70,'MissingWidth'=>507);
$up = -113;
$ut = 65;
$cw = array(
    chr(0)=>507,chr(1)=>507,chr(2)=>507,chr(3)=>507,chr(4)=>507,chr(5)=>507,chr(6)=>507,chr(7)=>507,chr(8)=>507,chr(9)=>507,chr(10)=>507,chr(11)=>507,chr(12)=>507,chr(13)=>507,chr(14)=>507,chr(15)=>507,chr(16)=>507,chr(17)=>507,chr(18)=>507,chr(19)=>507,chr(20)=>507,chr(21)=>507,

?>

to:

font = {"type":"TrueType",
        "name":"Calibri",
        "desc":{"Ascent":750,etc...},
        etc......
        }

I thank all in advance!

P.S. I reuploaded this question (my previous was closed) to share my solution in case someone else needs it.

Answer

The solution i found was just writing the parsing myself:

import re
import regex

def parse_php(fontfile):
    font_dict = {}
    for item in php_chunks(fontfile):
        key, attr = item.split(" = ")
        attr = attr.replace("t","").strip()
        attr = re.sub("^(.*);",r"1",attr)
        # re.split("[,](?!'=>)",data["cw"])
        if re.match("'(.*)'",attr):
            attr = re.sub("'(.*)'",r"1",attr)
        try:
            attr = eval(attr)
            font_dict[key.replace("$","").strip()] = attr
        except:            
            if "array" in attr:
                if re.match("^array(",attr):
                    attr_dict = {}
                    attr = re.sub("array((.*))",r"1",attr)
                    attr = regex.split("(?<!array(d*)[,](?!'=>)",attr)
                    for row in attr:
                        dict_key, dict_item = row.strip().split("=>")
                        try:
                            attr_dict[str(eval(dict_key))] = eval(dict_item)
                        except:
                            attr_dict[str(eval(dict_key))] = dict_item
                    font_dict[key.replace("$","").strip()] = attr_dict
            else:
                font_dict[key.replace("$","").strip()] = attr
    return font_dict    
    
def php_chunks(raw):
    raw = raw.read()
    chunk = ""
    for idx, line in enumerate(raw.splitlines()):
        if line.startswith("$"):
            if idx != 1:
                yield chunk
            chunk = ""
            chunk = "".join(line)
        else:
            chunk = "".join([chunk,line])
