I prefer that one, as I have the parsed data already lying around in memory. But, as I think about it, I could also pass it to json.dumps and parse it again. But, that wouldn't make much sense, right? > > "But, sometimes a data field on returned data set is simply None. > Thus, I want to extract the types from another data set and merge the > two." ??? A "data field" /value/ of None has the /type/ "<type > 'NoneType'>", so I don't quite understand what you intend to merge? You > can't arbitrarily change the "type" without changing the "value". OK, I am probably using the wrong vocabulary here again. :( Imagine you have two data sets: d1 = {'foo': None} d2 = {'foo': 8} Where I would assume that d1 has "foo" not set. That's why I want this whole "merge"-thing in the first place: to be able to extract the type {'foo': None} from d1 and {'foo': int} from d2 and merge the two together which should result in {'foo': int}.
