How to get a dictionary from a json file in Python? -

i got code implementing needing:

import json  json_data = [] open("trendingtopics.json") json_file:     json_data = json.load(json_file)  category in json_data:     print category     trendingtopic in category:         print trendingtopic 

and json file:

{     "general": ["epn","peña nieto", "méxico","presidenciamx"],     "acciones politicas": ["reforma fiscal", "reforma energética"] } 

however i'm getting printed:

acciones politicas c c o n e s  p o l t c s general g e n e r l 

i want dictionary being strings keys , got list value. iterate on it. how can accomplish it?

json_data dictionary. in first loop, you're iterating on list of dictionary's keys:

for category in json_data: 

category contain key strings - general , acciones politicas.

you need replace loop, iterates on keys' letters:

for trendingtopic in category: 

with below, iterates on dictionary elements:

for trendingtopic in json_data[category]:
