Json dissect with python
hello,

I'm trying to parse a json file and print out each element along with some related infos such type and value.

I would like to do that in python and I found a nice support to quickly load the json file, instead I found a bit more difficult the information extraction.

Example, I have this json file:
Code:
{
    "glossary": {
        "title": "example glossary",
            "GlossList": {
                "GlossEntry": [
                {
                    "ID": "SGML",
                    "SortAs": "SGML",
                    "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
                    "Acronym": "SGML",
                    "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
                    "GlossSee": "markup"
                }
                ]
            }
    }
}

I can easly load with:
Code:
import json
..
json_file = json.load(file)
..

Now I would like to print out such infos:
Code:
"glossary" is an object, its dept level is 0
"title" is a string, its dept level is 1, its value is "example glossary"
"GlossList" is an object, its dept level is 1
"GlossEntry" is an array, its dept level is 3
....
....

The json lib easly allows to match a object->dict and array->list.
How could I loop through the json file easly and print such infos?

thanks

D

dh_pysupport

DH_PYSUPPORT(1) 						  python-support						   DH_PYSUPPORT(1)

NAME

       dh_pysupport - use the python-support framework to handle Python modules

SYNOPSIS

       dh_pysupport [debhelper options] [-V X.Y] [-X item [...]] [-n] [module dirs ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_pysupport is a debhelper program that will scan your package, detect public modules in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages, and move them
       to the shared Python modules location. It will generate appropriate postinst/prerm scripts to byte-compile modules installed there for all
       available python versions.

       It will also look for private Python modules and will byte-compile them with the current Python version. You may have to list the
       directories containing private Python modules.

       If a file named debian/pyversions exists, it is used to determine the python versions with which the package can work.

       Appropriate dependencies on python-support, python and pythonX.Y are put in ${python:Depends}.  The ${python:Versions} and
       ${python:Provides} optional substitution variables are made available as well.

OPTIONS

       module dirs
	   If your package installs private python modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_pysupport check those directories by
	   passing their names on the command line. By default, it will check /usr/lib/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/$PACKAGE, /usr/lib/games/$PACKAGE and
	   /usr/share/games/$PACKAGE

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.

       -d  This option is deprecated.

       -V X.Y
	   Force private modules to be bytecompiled with the specific X.Y python version, regardless of the default python version on the system.

       -X item, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being taken into account to generate the python dependency. It also
	   excludes them from byte-compilation. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
