how to get projectID value from dictionary in python?

Question

need to extract projectID and my final output is to be 1868117666669.

'{
    "code":"ok",
    "job":{
        "config":{
            "progress":{
                "message":"Reading 2014-03-03__12-57-01-PM.xml",
                "percent":107,
                "maxmemory":954,
                "memory":667
            },
            "projectID":1868117666669,
            # other stuff
            }
        }
  }'

That's not a Python dictionary, that's a string containing JSON data. — Matthew Trevor, Mar 12 '14 at 06:45

You can try

>>> a = '{"code":"ok","job":{"config":{"progress":{"message":"Reading 2014-03-03__12-57-01-PM.xml","percent":107,               "maxmemory":954,"memory":667},"projectID":1868117666669}}}'

>>> json.loads(a)['job']['config']['projectID']
1868117666669
