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.
Just quote them:
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] }} ]
Incidentally, dictionary keys in Python don't have to be strings, but
merely 'hashable', which includes integers, floats and tuples amongst
others.
