get json content from a website with python

Question

I have to get json's contents from a site and parsing them with python. I wrote this code :

import requests
import codecs
import urllib
import urllib3
from urllib.request import urlopen
import json

url = "http://opendata.arpa.emr.it/services/arkiweb/datasets/"

response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(response.read())
print(data)

I have this error : "the json object must be str, not 'bytes'". I don't know how to continue my script, any ideas?

There is a skill you need to learn: Google the error message! — hek2mgl, Apr 26 '16 at 14:19
I tried a lot of ways and I forget to delete older imports, you're right but the problem isn't in that section — nickmeck, Apr 26 '16 at 14:24

you have already imported requests (this module can deal with it)

response = requests.get("http://opendata.arpa.emr.it/services/arkiweb/datasets/")
a_dict = json.loads(response.content)

Try this code :

import urllib, json
url = "http://opendata.arpa.emr.it/services/arkiweb/datasets/"
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(response.read())
print data
