I'm building json format and the expected is as below:
{
accounts:[ {
"acctnum": "acct1",
"key2":"value2"
"key3": []
"summary" : {
//nested dict
}
}
] //if we have 1 account for given customer
}
If we have more than one account for customer:
{
accounts:[ {
"acctnum": "acct1", // for acct1
"key2":"value2"
"key3": []
"summary" : {
//nested dict
}
},
{
"acctnum": "acct2", //for acct2
"key2":"value3"
"key3": []
"summary" : {
//nested dict
}
}
]
}
After building the dictionary with required attributes for acct1, my code towards end is (and have question if I should be using collections module):
acctlist = []
acctlist = results //results is dict for acct1 (with nested dict)
print(acctlist)
accounts = {}
accounts["accounts"] = acctlist
j = json.dumps(accounts, indent=4)
print(j)
But the actual json format comes out as:
{
accounts: {
"acctnum": "acct1",
"key2":"value2"
"key3": []
"summary1" : {
//nested dict
}
}
}
Your print statement likely answers your question. Is it a list?
acctlist = []
acctlist = results //results is dict for acct1 (with nested dict)
print(acctlist)
I suspect you meant to do acctlist.append(results)
