title: Python urllib2: Receive JSON response from url
body: <p>I am trying to GET a URL using Python and the response is JSON. However, when I run</p>
  
  <pre><code>import urllib2
  response = urllib2.urlopen('https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/pizza/media/XXXXXX')
  html=response.read()
  print html
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The html is of type str and I am expecting a JSON. Is there any way I can capture the response as JSON or a python dictionary instead of a str.</p>
