How do I build a 2D json object with python dictionaries?

Question

I'm scraping the web and pulling html attributes out as a dictionary and want to compile all of these as ojbects into a json file.

The dictionary looks like this:

{'car':'ford',
   'mpg':45,
   'VIN':'A31GAFD'}

and I want my json file to look like (or however would be most appropriate):

{
    {'car':'ford',
   'mpg':45,
   'VIN':'A31GAFD'},

    {'car':'bmw',
   'mpg':12,
   'VIN':'B441GAFD'}
}

I think all you want, is for the outer object to be an array instead:

[
    {
        'car':'ford',
        'mpg':45,
        'VIN':'A31GAFD'
    },

    {
        'car':'bmw',
        'mpg':12,
        'VIN':'B441GAFD'
    }
]

That is [ ... ] instead of { ... }

If that's not what you're asking for, then please clarify your question.
