Convert unicode json to normal json in python

Question

I got the following json: {u'a': u'aValue', u'b': u'bValue', u'c': u'cValue'} by doing request.json in my python code. Now, I want to convert the unicode json to normal json, something which should like this: {"a": "aValue", "b": "bValue", "c": "cValue"}. How do I get this done, without having to do any manual replacements? Please help.

{u'a': u'aValue', u'b': u'bValue', u'c': u'cValue'} is a dictionary which you are calling as unicode json. Now, in your language if you want a regular json from this then just do something like this:

x={u'a': u'aValue', u'b': u'bValue', u'c': u'cValue'}
y=json.dumps(x)
print y

The output will be {"a": "aValue", "c": "cValue", "b": "bValue"}
