FYI: Most of this function can be replaced with something like:

' '.join([x[key_name] if x[key_name] in key_values for x in data['targets']])

+  for target in data['targets']:
+    if target[key_name] in key_values:
+      if output_string:

Another way to get rid of this "add a space if we already have something in the
string" check is to replace it with

  output.push(target[target_key])

and then:

  if output:
    print ' '.join(output)

+        output_string += " " + target[target_key]
+      else:
+        output_string += target[target_key]

+  if output_string:
