Answer 1

I found two errors in your first example:

1. You have a group in your stringified (Json) version of your dict. This should be a "group" (with quotes).
2. You misspelled your variable; JSON_Datalist ≠ JSON_DataList (lowercase vs. capital L).

After fixing both, I had no problems anymore:

>>> JSON_Datalist = '{"id":"XXXX", "name": "xyz", "user" : { "id": "XXXX", "username":"XYZ", "group":{"id": "XXXX"}}}'
>>> the_dict = json.loads(JSON_Datalist)
>>> the_dict
{u'user': {u'username': u'XYZ', u'group': {u'id': u'XXXX'}, u'id': u'XXXX'}, u'id': u'XXXX', u'name': u'xyz'}
