I've tried using the split() method but it doesn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks

That's literally valid JSON. This works:
import json
my_string = '{"data":[[[""],["2,681,118"]], ...}'
nested_dict = json.loads(my_string)

I have a string that looks like this:
'{"screen_name":"Brian","avatar":1},{"screen_name":"David","avatar":21},{"screen_name":"Teo","avatar":34}'
How can I make it a list of dictionaries?
I tried with json.loads, but it threw an error...

before trying json.loads, you have to make sure that is surrounded by square brackets.
You can achieve that by using format or fstrings, so you can do:
>>> import json
>>> json.loads(f"[{original}]")
[{"screen_name":"Brian","avatar":1},{"screen_name":"David","avatar":21},{"screen_name":"Teo","avatar":34}]

I want to convert the following string into dictionary without using eval() function in Python 3.5.
d="{'Age': 7, 'Name': 'Manni'}";
Can anybody tell me the good way than using the eval() function?
What I really want is a function which can directly convert a dictionary to a string.

literal_eval, a somewhat safer version of eval (will only evaluate literals ie strings, lists etc):
from ast import literal_eval
python_dict = literal_eval("{'a': 1}")
json.loads but it would require your string to use double quotes:
import json
python_dict = json.loads('{"a": 1}')
