python json dumps

Question

i have the following string, need to turn it into a list without u\'\':

my_str = \"[{u\'name\': u\'squats\', u\'wrs\': [[u\'99\', 8]], u\'id\': 2}]\"
         


        

Answer 1

This works but doesn't seem too elegant

import json
json.dumps(json.JSONDecoder().decode(str_w_quotes))
