['{\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])
