Get the data from a document in Firestore as dictionary

[Guanaco Devs]

When triggering a Python function for Firestore the data of the document comes whithin the event in the form of:

{
    'value': {
        'fields': {
            'count': {
                'integerValue': '0'
            },
            'verified': {
                'booleanValue': False
            },
            'user': {
                'stringValue': 'Matt'
            }
        }
    }
}

Is there a Firestore function to convert the 'fields' key to a dictionary like:

{
    'count': 0,
    'verified': False,
    'user': 'Matt',
}

When using JavaScript Functions one can get the data from the event as properties, is there something in Firestore likewise.
According to the answers in this question in SO, my best bet is to get the data straight from Firestore instead of writing some extra lines of code.

Hello Guanaco, 

There is a doc.to_dict() function as well. You may want to check an example on the "google-cloud-firestore 0.31.0" Python documentation page. 

All this is above the scope of this discussion group, in fact off-topic. You should post such questions to StackOverflow, or other similar forums. This forum meant for general discussion on the platform and its services. By contrast, in StackOverflow, you get in contact with experienced programmers, who are happy to help.

Thank you George.

Sorry, I thought Python functions were part of the platform and its services.

I did ask before in SO with the provided link since I didn't get any pointer there I thought that I could do it here.
What I'm looking is for the equivalent

doc.to_dict()

for a event, something maybe like event.to_dict()

Best Regrds
