Data request string python

After a post request with data at a site

f = urllib.request.urlopen(request,data)

I get back a response and after 

res = f.responce.read().decode()

I get a type type(res) <class string> that prints like:

[
  {
    "example": "174 55",
    "example": "example",
    "example": "example",
    "example": "",
    "example": false,
    "example": null,    
  },
  {
    "example": "174 55",
    "example": "example",
    "example": "example",
    "example": "",
    "example": false,
    "example": null,  
  }
]

Is there a way to get it immediately as a list of dicts, or an easy way to transform it to a list of dicts?

Solution

  • This is json data.

    Use the built-in json module:

    import json
...
res = f.responce.read().decode()
data = json.loads(res)
