['{\n "quantityOfUnits": 1500,\n "ownerOnDespatch": "100038",\n "packSize": 3\n}', '{\n "quantityOfUnits": 2500,\n "ownerOnDespatch": "100038",\n "packSize": 4\n}']

want to convert the list of strings to dictionary and access the values and also want to eleminate the \n.

You don't need to try to remove \n here. Just parse the string with json.

import json
directreceipts = [json.loads(d) for d in directreceipts]

Output:

[{'quantityOfUnits': 1500, 'ownerOnDespatch': '100038', 'packSize': 3},
 {'quantityOfUnits': 2500, 'ownerOnDespatch': '100038', 'packSize': 4}]

You can access the values like,

Single-value access,

In [1]: directreceipts[0]['quantityOfUnits']
Out[1]: 1500

Ideally, iterate through and access the values

In [2]: for item in directreceipts:
    ...:     print(item['quantityOfUnits'])
    ...: 
1500
2500

To find the sum of those values, Using list comprehension.

In [3]: sum([item['quantityOfUnits'] for item in directreceipts])
Out[3]: 4000

try this

list_object[0].encode("utf-8").decode()

or you can try this one also :

import json
json.loads(list_object[0])

  • No it din't work. o/p ---- resp = directreceipts[0].encode("utf-8").decode() AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'encode' – Chaitanya SH Oct 17 '22 at 18:36
  • resp = json.loads(directreceipts[0]) print(resp) TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not dict – Chaitanya SH Oct 17 '22 at 18:38
