I'm playing with both learning python and trying to get github issues into a readable form. Using the advice on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1871524/convert-from-json-to-csv-using-python">How can I convert JSON to CSV?</a> I came up with this: <pre><code>import json import csv f=open('issues.json') data = json.load(f) f.close() f=open("issues.csv","wb+") csv_file=csv.writer(f) csv_file.writerow(["gravatar_id","position","number","votes","created_at","comments","body","title","updated_at","html_url","user","labels","state"]) for item in data: csv_file.writerow([item["gravatar_id"], item["position"], item["number"], item["votes"], item["created_at"], item["comments"], item["body"], item["title"], item["updated_at"], item["html_url"], item["user"], item["labels"], item["state"]]) </code></pre> Where "issues.json" is the json file containing my github issues. When I try to run that, I get <pre><code>File "foo.py", line 14, in <module> csv_file.writerow([item["gravatar_id"], item["position"], item["number"], item["votes"], item["created_at"], item["comments"], item["body"], item["title"], item["updated_at"], item["html_url"], item["user"], item["labels"], item["state"]]) TypeError: string indices must be integers </code></pre> What am I missing here? Which are the "string indices"? I'm sure that once I get this working I'll have more issues, but for now , I'd just love for this to work! UPDATE: When I tweak the <code>for</code> statement to simply <pre><code>for item in data: print item </code></pre> what I get is ... "issues" -- so I'm doing something more basic wrong. Here's a bit of my json: <pre><code>{"issues":[{"gravatar_id":"44230311a3dcd684b6c5f81bf2ec9f60","position":2.0,"number":263,"votes":0,"created_at":"2010/09/17 16:06:50 -0700","comments":11,"body":"Add missing paging (Older>>) links... </code></pre> when I print <code>data</code> it looks like it is getting munged really oddly: <pre><code>{u'issues': [{u'body': u'Add missing paging (Older>>) lin... </code></pre>

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.
