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

json.dumps thinks that the " is part of a the string, not part of the json formatting.

import json
json.dumps(json.load(str_w_quotes))

should give you:

 [{"id": 2, "name": "squats", "wrs": [["55", 9]]}]
