The use of eval is dangerous if you are not *completely* sure what is
being passed in. Try using pickle instead:
http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/pickle-example.html
Or, depending on the use, you might use ast.literal_eval()
A cursory glance at the OP's code suggests that this may simply
be a dict of values-to-lists of purely literals, so
literal_eval() should do the job.
