Martin Panter added the comment:
By default, open("test.json") will open the file in text mode, decoding from
the encoding determined by your environment. See
<https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/functions.html#open>, in particular, “The
default encoding is platform dependent (whatever locale.getpreferredencoding()
returns)”.
If your file’s encoding is determined some other way, you should specify that
other encoding. For JSON, I understand UTF-8 is generally always used, so you
should call open("test.json", encoding="utf-8").
