python, Json and string indices must be integers, not str
Question: I am using Python, and I sent a request to a URL and received a reply using
httplib2. The reply I got was in JSon, how do I access a specific parameter.
What I have at the moment is:

    
    
    resp, content = parser.request(access_token_uri, method = 'POST', body = params, headers =     headers)
    raise Exception(content['access_token'])
    

and I get the error

    
    
    string indices must be integers, not str
    

How do I do it?

Thanks


Answer: Well if the response type is json and it comes in type str.

If you are running 2.4 of Python use simplejson if 2.6 use json:

    
    
    import json
    # Your code
      retdict = json.loads(content)
    

Then treat it like a dictionary.

    
    
    accesstoken = retdict['access_token']
