python获取url的json数据,通过url获取json数据并在python中使用（simplejson）

I imagine this must have a simple answer, but I am struggling: I want to take a url (which outputs json) and get the data in a usable dictionary in python. I am stuck on the last step.

>>> import urllib2

>>> import simplejson

>>> req = urllib2.Request("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/38356.json", None, {'user-agent':'syncstream/vimeo'})

>>> opener = urllib2.build_opener()

>>> f = opener.open(req)

>>> f.read() # this works

>>> simplejson.load(f)

Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")

ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

解决方案

Try

f = opener.open(req)

simplejson.load(f)

without running f.read() first. When you run f.read(), the filehandle's contents are slurped so there is nothing left when your call simplejson.load(f)
