Scot, Thanks for the reply. OK I've gotten down to the point to where I
have my version of your json_data in your code below, but I'm not sure I
understand exactly what your code is doing, after you have the json_data
variable contents. In my case the first object of response data that I'm
trying to use is a list of two items, with each item containing multiple
keys and internal or sub objects within them.
Can you please explain your code after you have the json_data variable
formatted further? I'm guessing you're doing some kind of further required
conversion of the data, and if so I'm not sure I understand why those
conversions are necessary and being done.
My current piece of response data that I'm trying to work with looks like
this(when I print it in my command prompt window):
[

}
]
So far I've tried to access the objects inside the list like I normally
would in python using indexing for the list items like this:
lstobjct = rspnslist[index]
but so far all I've gotten from this is an "exceptions.AttributeError".
Thanks again for the help.
