How to convert string representation of list to a list
(19 answers)
Closed 8 months ago.
I have a string that looks like this:
'{"screen_name":"Brian","avatar":1},{"screen_name":"David","avatar":21},{"screen_name":"Teo","avatar":34}'
How can I make it a list of dictionaries?
I tried with json.loads, but it threw an error...

before trying json.loads, you have to make sure that is surrounded by square brackets.
You can achieve that by using format or fstrings, so you can do:
>>> import json
>>> json.loads(f"[{original}]")
[{"screen_name":"Brian","avatar":1},{"screen_name":"David","avatar":21},{"screen_name":"Teo","avatar":34}]

python string to list (in string and json) [duplicate]

How can I parse (read) and use JSON?

Closed last year.
I want to convert these strings to a list. in python
from
42["pause",{"all":false,"media_only":false,"media_exclude":false}]
(type : string)
to["pause",{"all":false,"media_only":false,"media_exclude":false}]
(type : list (in string and json))
There is a way to parse the string directly, but since the types of incoming data are various, I was looking for a function that can be converted directly, but I couldn't find it. How can I do that?

Can you try the following:
import json
text = '''42["pause",{"all":false,"media_only":false,"media_exclude":false}]'''
text = text[text.find('['):]
result = json.loads(text)
print(result)
Output:
['pause', {'all': False, 'media_only': False, 'media_exclude': False}]

That's literally valid JSON. This works:

nested_dict = json.loads(my_string)

how to convert string into dictionary in python 3.*? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Convert a String representation of a Dictionary to a dictionary
(11 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I want to convert the following string into dictionary without using eval() function in Python 3.5.
d="{'Age': 7, 'Name': 'Manni'}";
Can anybody tell me the good way than using the eval() function?
What I really want is a function which can directly convert a dictionary to a string.

literal_eval, a somewhat safer version of eval (will only evaluate literals ie strings, lists etc):
from ast import literal_eval
python_dict = literal_eval("{'a': 1}")
json.loads but it would require your string to use double quotes:
import json
python_dict = json.loads('{"a": 1}')

Process escape sequences in a string in Python

Closed 7 months ago.
I receive a string like this from a third-party service:
>>> s
'\\u0e4f\\u032f\\u0361\\u0e4f'
I know that this string actually contains sequences of a single backslash, lowercase u etc. How can I convert the string such that the '\\u0e4f' is replaced by '\u0e4f' (i.e. '๏'), etc.? The result for this example input should be '๏̯͡๏'.

In 2.x:
>>> u'\\u0e4f\\u032f\\u0361\\u0e4f'.decode('unicode-escape')
u'\u0e4f\u032f\u0361\u0e4f'
>>> print u'\\u0e4f\\u032f\\u0361\\u0e4f'.decode('unicode-escape')
๏̯͡๏

There's an interesting list of encodings supported by .encode() and .decode() methods. Those magic ones in the second table include the unicode_escape.

Python3:
bytes("\\u0e4f\\u032f\\u0361\\u0e4f", "ascii").decode("unicode-escape")
