Assuming you have this data stored in a file named file.json, you can convert it into a string using:

import json

file = open('file.json')
data = json.load(file)
file.close()

string = json.dumps(data)
print(string)

so I did not really get what is the desired output, a string or an array.

so if you have:

>>> a = '[ {"gy":"1","te":"ggjf" }, {"gy":"2","te":"hgfjm" } ]'

if you want the array:

>>> import json
>>> json.loads(a)
[{'gy': '1', 'te': 'ggjf'}, {'gy': '2', 'te': 'hgfjm'}]

if you want the string:

>>> import json
>>> json.dumps(json.loads(a))
'[{"gy": "1", "te": "ggjf"}, {"gy": "2", "te": "hgfjm"}]'

if none of the above is your desired output, please clearify more :-)
