    <p>There are two problems here. First:</p> <pre><code>string = file("prCounties.txt","r").read().decode('utf-8') </code></pre> <p>Why are you decoding it? JSON explicitly takes UTF-8 strings. That's part of the definition of JSON. The fact that <code>simplejson</code> can handle Unicode strings makes it a little easier to use, but it effectively handles them by encoding them back to UTF-8, so… why not just leave it that way in the first place?</p> <p>More importantly, where did your data come from? If <code>prCounties.txt</code> has that <code>u"Añasco"</code> in it, it's not JSON. You can't encode something to one standard and decode to a completely different standard just because they look similar.</p> <p>If, for example, you did <code>open('prCounties.txt', 'w').write(repr(my_dict))</code>, you have to read it back with a Python <code>repr</code> parser (possibly <code>ast.literal_eval</code>, or maybe you have to write something yourself).</p> <p>Or, alternatively, if you want to parse the data as JSON, write it as JSON in the first place.</p> <hr> <p>According to your comment, the data was read from <a href="https://raw.github.com/johan/world.geo.json/master/countries/USA/PR" rel="nofollow">https://raw.github.com/johan/world.geo.json/master/countries/USA/PR</a>/Añasco.geo.json</p> <p>The raw contents of that URL are:</p> <pre><code>{"type":"FeatureCollection","properties":{"kind":"state","state":"PR"},"features":[ {"type":"Feature","properties":{"kind":"county","name":"Añasco","state":"PR"},"geometry":{"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":[[[[-67.1220,18.3239],[-67.0508,18.3075],[-67.0398,18.2910],[-67.0837,18.2527],[-67.1220,18.2417],[-67.1603,18.2746],[-67.1877,18.2691],[-67.2261,18.2965],[-67.1822,18.3129],[-67.1275,18.3184]]]]}} ]} </code></pre> <p>You'll notice that there is no <code>"name": u"Añasco"</code> (or <code>"name": u"A\xf1asco"</code>, or anything similar) there. You can read this just by calling <code>read</code>—no need to decode it from UTF-8 or anything—and just pass it to <code>simplejson.loads</code> and it works just fine:</p> <pre><code>$ curl -O https://raw.github.com/johan/world.geo.json/master/countries/USA/PR/Añasco.geo.json $ cp Añasco.geo.json prCounties.txt $ python &gt;&gt;&gt; import simplejson &gt;&gt;&gt; string = file("prCounties.txt","r").read() &gt;&gt;&gt; d = simplejson.loads(string) &gt;&gt;&gt; print d {u'type': u'FeatureCollection', u'properties': {u'kind': u'state', u'state': u'PR'}, u'features': [{u'geometry': {u'type': u'MultiPolygon', u'coordinates': [[[[-67.122, 18.3239], [-67.0508, 18.3075], [-67.0398, 18.291], [-67.0837, 18.2527], [-67.122, 18.2417], [-67.1603, 18.2746], [-67.1877, 18.2691], [-67.2261, 18.2965], [-67.1822, 18.3129], [-67.1275, 18.3184]]]]}, u'type': u'Feature', u'properties': {u'kind': u'county', u'name': u'A\xf1asco', u'state': u'PR'}}]} </code></pre> <p>See, no errors at all.</p> <p>Somewhere, you've done something to this data to turn it into something else which is not JSON. My guess is that, on top of doing a bunch of unnecessary extra <code>decode</code> and <code>encode</code> calls, you've also done a <code>simplejson.loads</code>, then tried to re-<code>simplejson.loads</code> the <code>repr</code> of the <code>dict</code> you got back. Or maybe you've JSON-encoded a <code>dict</code> full of already-encoded JSON strings. Whatever you've done, that code, not the code you're showing us, is where the error is.</p> <p>And the easiest fix is probably to generate <code>prCounties.txt</code> properly in the first place. It's just 70-odd downloads of a few lines apiece, and it should take maybe 2 lines of bash or 4 lines of Python to do it…</p>

    1. COit's from `https://github.com/johan/world.geo.json/blob/master/countries/USA/PR/Añasco.geo.json` the file name and the text has a `ñ` in it.

    2. COYes, the contents have `… "name":"Añasco",` in them. Where did you get your `… "name": u"Añasco" …` from? You've clearly done some kind of processing to the file that turns it from JSON into non-JSON. If you just parse the actual raw data in the file, it works fine.

    3. COhmm... I used `urllib.urlopen` to read it (and about 75 similar files) from Github, which I merged and saved into one file. Then I opened that file, and this mess began.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
