I have a string (base64 decoded here) that looks like this:

I generate this on a simple webpage that uploads a couple files to a AWS Lambda script through a PUT request with the API Gateway. It should be noted that what I get from the API Gateway is a Base64 string that I then decode into the string above.
The string above is the data that my Lambda script receives from the API gateway. What I would like to do is parse this string in order to retrieve the data contained within with Python 2.7. I've experimented with the cgi class and using the cgi.parse_multipart() method, however, I cannot find a way to convert a string to the required arguments. Any tips?
