android json urlencode,python - urlencode of json data - Stack Overflow

originating from a different question of mine, trying to find an elegant solution in the python code

(mongo PHP turns array into strings)

I have a valid json file, with an array of elements - all with "" (not a single ')

The following python code creates a POST request that causes PHP json_decode to fail

The $_POST array looks like so:

[{u'amount': u'1 (14 ounce) can', u'name': u'black beans, drained', u'short_name': u'black beans'}, {u'amount': u'1 (8 ounce) jar', u'name': u'salsa', u'short_name': u'salsa'}]

(with u'' in the strings)

The code that created this:

json_data = open(json_filename)

elems = json.load(json_data)

running_index=0

for elem in elems:

data = urlencode(elem)

result = urllib2.urlopen(base_url,data)

Any elegant way to make the data "PHP ready"?

Elegant == other than doing (which horrificly works):

data = data.replace("u%27","%22")

data = data.replace("%27","%22")
