Hi, I'm using the json module to create a JSON string, then inserting that string into a html template containing a javascript function (from the highcharts library: http://www.highcharts.com/) The json string I'm trying to create is to initialize a data variable in the javascript function, that has the following example format.
data = [{ y: 55.11, color: colors[0], drilldown: { name: 'MSIE versions', categories: ['MSIE 6.0', 'MSIE 7.0', 'MSIE 8.0', 'MSIE 9.0'], data: [10.85, 7.35, 33.06, 2.81], color: colors[0] } }] However, I don't know how to do that because dictionary keys in python need to be strings. If I try to do the following, Python,of course, complains that y,color,drilldown, etc are not defined. import json data = [ { y:55.11, color:colors[0], drilldown:{name: 'MSIE versions',categories: ['MSIE 6.0', 'MSIE 7.0', 'MSIE 8.0', 'MSIE 9.0'],data: [10.85, 7.35, 33.06, 2.81],color: colors[0] }} ] data_string = json.dumps(data) Many thanks for any suggestions on how to do this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
