Check out the json module in Python https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html

import json
json.dumps({"hello": 0}, sort_keys=True)

You can use the json module to encode Python objects as JSON, e.g.

>>> import json
>>> data = ('Hello')
>>> json.dumps(data)
'"Hello"'

>>> data = ('Hello', 'There')
>>> json.dumps(data)
'["Hello", "There"]'


>>> data = {'message': 'Hello'}
>>> json.dumps(data)
'{"message": "Hello"}'

When I run the linked code it outputs this JSON encoded string:

'"\\u062a\\u0644\\u06af\\u0631\\u0627\\u0645 \\u0628\\u0631\\u0627\\u06cc \\u0633\\u06cc\\u0645\\u0628\\u06cc\\u0646 \\u0648 \\u062c\\u0627\\u0648\\u0627 !\\u0627\\u0635\\u0627 \\u062f\\u0627\\u0631\\u06cc\\u0645 \\u061f\\u061f\\u061f"'

. It is only displaying the last one in the title_rows list, but it does appear to work.

yeah, lets try it with english words.

What are you really trying to do? Do you want a JSON encoded list of URLs? If you are trying to extract the URL, try json.dumps(texts.a['href']), e.g.

'"showthread.php?148784-\\u062a\\u0644\\u06af\\u0631\\u0627\\u0645-\\u0628\\u0631\\u0627\\u06cc-\\u0633\\u06cc\\u0645\\u0628\\u06cc\\u0646-\\u0648-\\u062c\\u0627\\u0648\\u0627-!\\u0627\\u0635\\u0627-\\u062f\\u0627\\u0631\\u06cc\\u0645-\\u061f\\u061f\\u061f&s=a3e13225636cf0a310f89089f1b61161&goto=newpost"'
