That's because you didn't modify the program as per their suggestion,
you made completely different changes that bore no relation to what
they said.

What do you think 'import json' (or 'import cjson', or whatever) does?
Hint: it doesn't cause Python to henceforth treat all strings as if
they might contain JSON and to interpret them as such just in case.
As Cameron already said, you have to actually *call* the JSON decoder
to convert the data from its JSON string representation into Python
objects.
