[issue36931] json lib doesnt want to load from file

[Zachary Ware]

Zachary Ware <zachary.ware at gmail.com> added the comment:

You're passing in a filename, not a file-like object (see https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.load).  Instead, you'll want something like:

with open(filename) as f:
    json_data = json.load(f)



Please note that this is not a help forum; in future, please submit queries like this to the python-list at python.org mailing list, StackOverflow, or if you're just learning Python, try the tutor at python.org mailing list.  Thanks!
