I have a list of python dictionaries separated with commas in my file, i have to enclose these comma separated dictionaries in a python list to read my file as a json.

For Eg: myfile

{
    "title": "Sample Konfabulator Widget",
    "name": "main_window",
    "width": 500,
    "height": 500
},
{
    "title": "Sample Widget",
    "name": "main_window1",
    "width": 300,
    "height": 200
}

I have to make this as 

[
{
    "title": "Sample Konfabulator Widget",
    "name": "main_window",
    "width": 500,
    "height": 500
},
{
    "title": "Sample Widget",
    "name": "main_window1",
    "width": 300,
    "height": 200
}
]

Any suggestions, how to achieve this?

Have you tried something like this? 

import json
d = json.loads('[{}]'.format(open('myfile').read()))

  • Are you sure you can open that myfile? And what you have in that `open()` exactly -- [IOError 22](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15598160/ioerror-errno-22-invalid-mode-r-or-filename-c-python27-test-txt) may mean you have backslashes problem? – slavos1 Nov 22 '18 at 08:27
