If you seem to have trouble with the encoding of a JSON file (i.e. escaped codes such as \u00fc aren't displayed correctly regardless of your editor's encoding setting) generated by Python with json.dump s(): it encodes ASCII by default and escapes the unicode characters! See python json unicode - how do I eval using javascript (and python: json.dumps can't handle utf-8? and Why does json.dumps escape non-ascii characters with "\uxxxx").
