Convert a list to json objects

Question

I have a huge text file.

line 1
line 2
line 3
...

I have converted it into an array of lists:

[[\'String 1\'],[\'String 2\'

To solve this, you need to split the input list into chunks, by 7 in your case. For this, let's use this approach. Then, use a list comprehension producing a list of dictionaries:

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> l = [['String 1'],['String 2'],['String 3'],['String 4'],['String 5'],
... ['String 6'],['String 7'],['String 8'],['String 9'],['String 10'],
... ['String 11']]
>>> def chunks(l, n):
...     """Yield successive n-sized chunks from l."""
...     for i in range(0, len(l), n):
...         yield l[i:i+n]
... 
>>>
>>> result = [{"title%d" % (i+1): chunk[i][0] for i in range(len(chunk))} 
              for chunk in chunks(l, 7)]
>>> pprint(result)
[{'title1': 'String 1',
  'title2': 'String 2',
  'title3': 'String 3',
  'title4': 'String 4',
  'title5': 'String 5',
  'title6': 'String 6',
  'title7': 'String 7'},
 {'title1': 'String 8',
  'title2': 'String 9',
  'title3': 'String 10',
  'title4': 'String 11'}]
