使用simplejson将列表写入文件并将内容读回到列表

Question

I would like to write a list to a file and read back the contents of the file into a list. I am able to write the list to the file using simplejson as follows:

f = open("data.txt","w")
l = ["a","b","c"]
simplejson.dump(l,f)
f.close()

Now to read the file back i do

file_contents = simplejson.load(f)

But, i guess file_contents is in json format. Is there any way to convert it to a list ?

Thank You.

Answer 1

with open("data.txt") as f:
  filecontents = simplejson.load(f)

is indeed reloading the data exactly as you specify. What may be confusing you is that all strings in JSON are always Unicode -- JSON (like Javascript) doesn't have a "byte string" data type distinct from "unicode".

Edit I don't have the old simplejson around any more (since its current version has become part of the standard Python library as json ), but here's how it works (making json masquerade as simplejson in the hope of avoiding confusing you!-)...:

>>> import json
>>> simplejson = json
>>> f = open("data.txt","w")
>>> l = ["a","b","c"]
>>> simplejson.dump(l,f)
>>> f.close()
>>> with open("data.txt") as f: fc = simplejson.load(f)
... 
>>> fc
[u'a', u'b', u'c']
>>> fc.append("d")
>>> fc
[u'a', u'b', u'c', 'd']
>>> 

If this exact code (net of the first two lines if what you do instead is import simplejson of course;-) doesn't match what you observe, you've found a bug, so it's crucial to report what versions of Python and simplejson you're using and exactly what error you get, complete with traceback (edit your Q to add this -- obviously crucial -- info!).

Unipath的.read_file和.write_file选项确实使这一过程变得简单。
