Through a little judicious Python debugging (a new experience for
me!), I figured out that the problem lies in the "install_on" fields
of fw1r55_to_fwdoc's output.  The elements of "install_on" are not
comma-separated, e.g.,

  "accessrules": [
    {
        "number": "1",
        "enabled": "yes",
        "from": [
            {"object": "Any" }
        ],
        "from_inverted": "no",
        "to": [
            "fraqhfb_rvag"
        ],
        "to_inverted": "no",
        "services": [
            {"layer3": "Any" }
        ],
        "services_inverted": "no",
        "action": "reject",
        "action_qualifier": "",
        "log": "SnmpTrap",
        "time": "Any",
        "install_on": [
            {
                "firewall": "hbngxam_syhms",
                "interface": [ "Any" ],
                "method": "fw1"
            }                       <==== MISSING COMMA GOES HERE
            {
                "firewall": "sgmebdbw_wnsnft",
                "interface": [ "Any" ],
                "method": "fw1"
            }
        ],
        "comment": "abc def ghi"
    }

I hope someone has the Python knowledge to come up with a patch, because
it isn't me.
