python, Json and string indices must be integers, not str

httplib2, json, python, url

Solution

Well if the response type is json and it comes in type str.

If you are running 2.4 of Python use simplejson if 2.6 use json:

import json
# Your code
  retdict = json.loads(content)

Then treat it like a dictionary.

accesstoken = retdict['access_token']

Problem

I am using Python, and I sent a request to a URL and received a reply using httplib2. The reply I got was in JSon, how do I access a specific parameter. What I have at the moment is: ``` resp, content = parser.request(access_token_uri, method = 'POST', body = params, headers = headers) raise Exception(content['access_token']) ``` and I get the error ``` string indices must be integers, not str ``` How do I do it? Thanks
