How do I deserialize this JSON object?

import simplejson
from urllib2 import urlopen
from simplejson import loads
from django.core import serializers
content = loads(urlopen('https://graph.facebook.com/1234676502/feed').read())
content =  simplejson.dumps(content,sort_keys=True, indent=4)
print content
json_serializer = serializers.get_serializer("json")()
json_serializer.deserialize(content)

While running the above python code im getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/youedo/test.py", line 22, in <module>
    json_serializer = serializers.get_serializer("json")()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/serializers/__init__.py", line 63, in get_serializer

    raise ImportError("Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable %s is undefined." % ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE)
ImportError: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.

...and when I print the content it prints the JSON string correctly.

Edit:2 import simplejson from urllib2 import urlopen from simplejson import loads from django.core import serializers content = loads(urlopen('https://graph.facebook.com/1234676502/feed').read())

json_serializer = serializers.get_serializer("json")()
json_serializer.get_deserialize(content)

I put this code in my view.py then i got the following error:

AttributeError at /rss

'Serializer' object has no attribute 'get_deserialize'

Request Method:     GET
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/rss
Django Version:     1.2.4

Your error has nothing to with json per se, it clearly states that it cannot import DJANGO_SETTINGS which means that you do not have the django app context in place. The easiest way to go about this is install django extensions which provides the command ./manage.py runscript which runs your script with your django app context.

Django extensions can be found here

Edit:: looking at your second edit, I can see that you are using a method get_deserialize(), the right method should be deserialize(), AFAIK.
