json.dumps list output
#11
I'm not sure I understand what your end goal is.
Is it to convert the dictionary to a list?

This seems a bit strange really. JSON is meant to be passed between machines, so formatting makes no difference to them. If a human wants to read it, surely they can use whatever pretty printing tools exist. If you've been told specifically to format it that way for an assignment, it sounds like emphasis is being placed on the wrong things.

I'm confused, it seems like that's the default behavior?
Output:
>>> import json >>> json.dumps([ ... [1, 2], ... [3, 4], ... ]) '[[1, 2], [3, 4]]'

I disagree strongly with this. Python's json.dumps method even has functionality for changing how the data looks, even though the dicts would be equal in Python (off the top of my hey, indent and sort_keys come to mind).

If the customer wants something, then that's what they want. End of story. I wish I could help, I'm just unclear on what the OP actually wants in spite of all the posts already.
