Python JSON module has no attribute 'dumps'

Question

I am running Python 2.7 (x64 Linux) and trying to convert a dict to a JSON object.

>>> import sys
>>> sys.version_info
sys.ver         


        

Answer 1

Even I was facing similar error while running json.dump(). In my case I was getting an error string :

AttributeError: 'file' object has no attribute 'dump'

How I fixed it -

I was using variable name as "json" for File descriptor in the same script, which is why I was getting this error. So I simply renamed that variable name and issue resolved.
