json.load causing IndexError: list index out of range

[WallyZ]

Thanks for all the advise.

I did test the json file in both jsonlint and dirty json. Both tools stated the json was valid.

Here is snippet of the json file where the accented characters are found:

"deja-dup": {
"name": "Déjà Dup",
"img": "deja-dup",
"main-package": "deja-dup",
"launch-command": "deja-dup",

I just decide to replace the accented character in the end.

I thought it may have been a python 2 versus 3 issue but I tried both versions. The script doesn't appear to work at all in version 2 so I was suprised that the accented characters caused an issue in version 3.
