On a different tack than the useful advice otherwise posted here, the 
pandas library has considerable support for going from JSON formats to 
other formats such as csv, you might want to take a look and see if 
someone has done the hard work for you already (yes it's quite possible 
that the particular format described here will defeat you, but then 
again maybe not).
