valid JSON

[baskettcase]

Im guessing you're just outputting what you're getting from the server. Right now we're getting single quotes back instead of double quotes, also True instead of "true" or 1, etc, both I did some string replace, but the last one that just popped up is this one:

"active_fort_modifier": b "9QM=",

Im not even sure how to replace that one especially if the value changes.

If this is my problem then please let me know. Or if there is a way around it, etc if this question is marked as incompetent as Ive seen others then please tell me why and feel free to delete :)

And thanks again you guys, following the discord from when it started.. I was constantly awed by you guys working :)

JSON.dumps() is what you need

[baskettcase]

Ok thank you Im experimenting with that and it looks like that line I mentioned previously is causing problems:

TypeError: b'9QM=' is not JSON serializable

[elliottcarlson]

b'9QM=' is a bytes object, decode it to a str object first for json.dumps to work - i.e. b'9QM='.decode('utf-8')

[baskettcase]

Ah ok thanks so Im working from the pokecli.py file

response_dict = api.get_map_objects(latitude =position[0], longitude = position[1], since_timestamp_ms = timestamps, cell_id = cell_ids)

to display it, it has

print('{}'.format(pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4).pformat(response_dict)))

I changed it to

print(json.dumps(response_dict))

after I did an include json at the top of the file. Im not a python guy, (Im PHP) so what I am doing at best, is hacking this file. I could potentially do a response_dict.decode('utf-8') but when I tried that (ok yes, I can tell that you're laughing now :) or shaking your head, or.. something :))

So I don't see anything in this file that allows me to modify the individual resulting values... before I encode into JSON.

Also it sounds like I might be having a problem with the pokecli.py file, not necessarily the library, which then that means this isn't an issue, but more of a "need help" type thing instead.. if that's the case, where would be a good place to get help so that I do not add chatter to the "issues" if this isn't an actual "issue" with the library?

[elliottcarlson]

Definitely not an issue; could seek help in the Discord chat.

Anyhow - without going in to too much support - if you are trying to get a JSON representation of the Dictionary object, then you could do json.dumps(response_dict, ensure_ascii=False) as long as you don't care about unprintable characters.

Thank you @elliotcarlson, and thanks @globeriz for the incompetence ;)
