问题
I am trying to process a dataset with JSON data. However, the data have been written on a file without being parsed. That means that a python dictionary is written in the file as a string instead of a JSON object as a string.
I've found a module (AST) that will do the job to convert the string to a dictionary again using the ast.literal_eval function.
However, I am getting a very strange error in some of the instances:
The code reads from a text file and apply the following to each line:
ast.literal_eval(line.rstrip())
It seems some of the characters are not ok with the AST module.
Need to recall as well that this is not happening with all the dataset, just with some instances.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.

Try exploring the json package. It is cleaner and more standard way of converting strings to dictionary
json.loads(inputStr) // Converts string -> dict
json.dumps(inputJson) // Converts dict -> string
Hope this helps. Cheers!
