bytes to json

[GrahamL]

Hi
Yes this works, but I am reading from a pipe using

result, data = win32file.ReadFile(p, 65535)

This gives me the string

b'"{\\"success\\": \\"true\\", \\"status\\": 200, \\"message\\": \\"Hello\\"}"'

I then decode

d = data.decode('ascii')

Then I do a json load

json_data = json.loads

but when I try to access as a json object I get the error

TypeError: string indices must be integers
