need help to read a file in python

Question

I am new to python but I have learned lots of stuff, but I found difficulty to read a JSON file. I need to read it in a way to access a particular data in this file. The file contain a data as follow:

[
    29723,
    5426523,
    "this book need to be printed",
    "http://amzn.to/U60TaF"
][
    29723,
    807242528,
    "ready for shipping",
    "http://nblo.gs/HNpn"
]

my code is:

FI = open(file_name, 'r')
for line in FI:
    tweet = json.loads(line)
    print(tweet)

The output is only the last line which is the link, I don't know way.

If it "looks like a json file", but isn't a json file, then you cannot use json to read it. You need to have a specification of the file, and then use a reader made for that. If it does not exist, you have to write you own. There is no "almost like a X" in programming. Computers are too precise for that. — zvone

Try

data = json.load(open(file_name))

There is no error, it just gave the last line of each block which is the link

Can you share link to your sample code and sample file which you are trying to parse? You can use pastebin.com/index.php for sharing code.
