OK. but I need more code context. The if statement that does the
modification is clearly python, so at that point rspnsdata must be a python
dictionary, not a JSON string. Yet, if I understand you correctly, it is
JSON to begin with (and you are using json.loads() to turn it into python
data so that you can manipulate it, but then you must later turn it back
into a JSON string (json.dumps()) to send as a response. So there's lots
of code you haven't shown. If the problem were where you're concentrating,
you would have found it. Please expand the scope of what you're showing.
