title: Error in parsing json in python
body: <p>Trying to parse this json in python</p>
  
  <pre><code>'''[{"accountName":"London\"Paris\"Geneva","accountId":"1664800781","isActive":true,"timeZone":"Asia/Jerusalem","currency":"ILS"}]'''
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives this error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "unicode_test.py", line 5, in &lt;module&gt;
      parsed_json = json.loads(json3)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 338, in loads
      return _default_decoder.decode(s)

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>whereas this json parses fine(adding extra '\')</p>
  
  <pre><code>'''[{"accountName":"London\\"Paris\\"Geneva","accountId":"1664800781","isActive":true,"timeZone":"Asia/Jerusalem","currency":"ILS"}]'''
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import json
  
  json3 = '''[{"accountName":"London\\"Paris\\"Geneva","accountId":"1664800781","isActive":true,"timeZone":"Asia/Jerusalem","currency":"ILS"}]'''
  
  parsed_json = json.loads(json3)
  print json.dumps(parsed_json)
  print parsed_json[0]['accountName']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the output has me confused,
  json.dumps() output</p>
  
  <pre><code>[{"currency": "ILS", "timeZone": "Asia/Jerusalem", "accountId": "1664800781", "isActive": true, "accountName": "London\"Paris\"Geneva"}]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>actual accountName string</p>
  
  <pre><code>London"Paris"Geneva
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get <code>London"Paris"Geneva</code> in the json string?</p>
