Python Tuple to dict to JSON

Question

my data

(('check_kvserver_mem_4500000', 2737L), 
 ('check_ethstatus', 250L), 
 ('check_ddos', 229L), 
 ('check_coredump', 193L),
 ('check_robot', 174L),
 ('check_disk_90_95', 155L))

into this:print json.dumps(data)

[["check_kvserver_mem_4500000", 2737], 
 ["check_ethstatus", 250],
 ["check_ddos", 229],
 ["check_coredump", 193], 
 ["check_disk_90_95", 155]]

I want data like

{["check_kvserver_mem_4500000", 2737],
 ["check_ethstatus", 250]
 ["check_ddos", 229], 
 ["check_coredump", 193], 
 ["check_disk_90_95", 155]}

or

 {"check_kvserver_mem_4500000":2737,
  "check_ethstatus":250,
  "check_ddos":229, 
  "check_coredump":193,
  "check_disk_90_95":155}

Also, please format your code neatly. It's very hard to read it when it is just one long line. — Noufal Ibrahim, Jul 31 '12 at 07:33

You want a JSON Object as a result but your data has no key/value structure. So json.dumps(data) is doing the right thing in generating a JSON List, not an Object. A Python tuple of tuples can not be matched on an invalid JSON Object.

Edit

After you changed your question (and deleted my beautiful edits while doing this), your question can be answered.

data = (('check_kvserver_mem_4500000', 2737L),
        ('check_ethstatus', 250L),
        ('check_ddos', 229L),
        ('check_coredump', 193L),
        ('check_robot', 174L),
        ('check_disk_90_95', 155L))
print json.dumps(dict(data))

Result is:

'{"check_disk_90_95": 155, "check_coredump": 193, "check_robot": 174,
  "check_kvserver_mem_4500000": 2737, "check_ddos": 229, "check_ethstatus": 250}'

 print json.dumps(dict(data))
 {"check_disk_90_95": 155,
  "check_coredump": 193,
  "check_robot": 174,
  "check_kvserver_mem_4500000": 2737,

d = dict((('check_kvserver_mem_4500000', 2737L), ('check_ethstatus', 250L), ('check_ddos', 229L), ('check_coredump', 193L), ('check_robot',
174L), ('check_disk_90_95', 155L)))

import json 

print json.dumps(x, indent = 5)

Returns

{
     "check_disk_90_95": 155, 
     "check_coredump": 193, 
     "check_robot": 174, 
     "check_kvserver_mem_4500000": 2737, 
     "check_ddos": 229, 
     "check_ethstatus": 250
}
