What did you try?
% python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Feb 17 2017, 23:41:27)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import json
>>> s = raw_input()
[{"itemNumber":"75-5044","inventory":[{"warehouseCode":"UT1-US","quantityAvailable":0.0000000000000},{"warehouseCode":"KY1US","quantityAvailable":0.0000000000000},{"warehouseCode":"TX-1-US","quantityAvailable":14.0000000000000},{"warehouseCode":"CA-1-US","quantityAvailable":4.0000000000000},{"warehouseCode":"AB-1-CA","quantityAvailable":1.0000000000000},{"warehouseCode":"WA-1-US","quantityAvailable":0.0000000000000},{"warehouseCode":"PO-1-CA","quantityAvailable":0.0000000000000}]}]
>>> json.loads(s)
[{u'inventory': [{u'quantityAvailable': 0.0, u'warehouseCode': u'UT1-US'},
{u'quantityAvailable': 0.0, u'warehouseCode': u'KY1US'},
{u'quantityAvailable': 14.0, u'warehouseCode': u'TX-1-US'},
{u'quantityAvailable': 4.0, u'warehouseCode': u'CA-1-US'},
{u'quantityAvailable': 1.0, u'warehouseCode': u'AB-1-CA'},
{u'quantityAvailable': 0.0, u'warehouseCode': u'WA-1-US'},
{u'quantityAvailable': 0.0, u'warehouseCode': u'PO-1-CA'}],
u'itemNumber': u'75-5044'}]
Looks like json to me, and to json.loads, which is probably more
authoritative :)
