I am sending a JSON string from Objective-C to Python. Then I want to break contents of the string into a Python list. I am trying to iterate over a string (any string for now):
import json s = '[{"i":"imap.gmail.com","p":"someP@ss"},{"i":"imap.aol.com","p":"anoterPass"}]' jdata = json.loads(s) for key, value in jdata.iteritems(): print key, value I get this error:
Exception Error: 'list' object has no attribute 'iterates'

Your JSON data is a list of dictionaries, so after json.loads(s) you will have jdata as a list, not a dictionary.
Try something like the following:
import json s = '[{"i":"imap.gmail.com","p":"someP@ss"},{"i":"imap.aol.com","p":"anoterPass"}]' jdata = json.loads(s) for d in jdata: for key, value in d.iteritems(): print key, value json.loads(s) will return you list. To iterate over it you don't need iteritems.
>>> jdata = json.loads(s) >>> for doc in jdata: ... for key, value in doc.iteritems(): ... print key, value for python 3.6 above, there has a little difference
s = '[{"i":"imap.gmail.com","p":"someP@ss"},{"i":"imap.aol.com","p":"anoterPass"}]' jdata = json.loads(s) print (jdata) for d in jdata: for key, value in d.items(): print (key, value) [{'i': 'imap.gmail.com', 'p': 'someP@ss'}, {'i': 'imap.aol.com', 'p': 'anoterPass'}] i imap.gmail.com p someP@ss i imap.aol.com p anoterPass
