Python: Convert a list of python dictionaries to an array of JSON objects

Question

I\'m trying to write a function to convert a python list into a JSON array of {\"mpn\":\"list_value\"} objects, where \"mpn\" is the literal string value I need for every object

Answer 1

You are adding the exact same dictionary to the list. You should create a new dictionary for each item in the list:

json.dumps([dict(mpn=pn) for pn in lst])
