  • Can i do that just by using the command prompt ? I mean the user will enter something like this { name:"joe", age:19,hobby:"table tennis"} and it is taken into a variable . – Meetu Agarwal Aug 23 '15 at 03:34
  • You could. Use `raw_input` in Python 2 or `input` in Python 3, and then run the string through a JSON parser. – Dodo Aug 23 '15 at 05:18

As shown in this similar question, Choosing a file in Python with simple Dialog :

from Tkinter import Tk  
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename  

Tk().withdraw() # we don't want a full GUI, so keep the root window from appearing  
filename = askopenfilename() # show an "Open" dialog box and return the path to the selected file  
print(filename)

import json
#read string input 
dataone= raw_input()  
m=json.loads(dataone)
print (m["attribute name in double quotes "])

if the user enters this string {"name":"joe","age":18,"hobby":"singing"} the m["name"] will give the output joe.
