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\'         


        

Answer 1

As @alecxe pointed out, you need to divide the array of lists you got from the file into groups of values with 7 or fewer elements. You can then take a list of any 7 titles you want and use them as keys to create the dictionary of each json object in the final list.

try:
    from itertools import izip
except ImportError:  # Python 3
    izip = zip

try:
    xrange
except NameError:  # Python 3
    xrange = range

def grouper(n, sequence):
    for i in xrange(0, len(sequence), n):
        yield sequence[i:i+n]

data = [['String 1'],['String 2'],['String 3'],['String 4'],['String 5'],
        ['String 6'],['String 7'],['String 8'],['String 9'],['String 9'],
        ['String 10']]

titles = ['title1', 'title2', 'title3', 'title4', 'title5', 'title6', 'title7']

values = [e[0] for g in grouper(7, data) for e in g]
keys = (titles[i%7] for i in xrange(len(values)))

objs = [dict(g) for g in grouper(7, list(izip(keys, values)))]
print(objs)

Output:

[{'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 9', 'title4': 'String 10'}]
