title: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes - converting a string to a json object using Python
body: <p>I am trying to convert a string to JSON using python using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myStr = '[{u"total": "54", u"value": "54", u"label": u"16 Sep"}, {u"total": "58", u"value": "4", u"label": u"16 Sep"}, {u"total": "65", u"value": "7", u"label": u"16 Sep"}, {u"total": "65", u"value": "0", u"label": u"16 Sep"}]'
  
  import json
  json.loads(myStr)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ValueError: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 3 (char 2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This makes no sense as every property has double quotes, not single ones. Any help?</p>
