How can I edit/rename keys during json.load in python?
You almost had it:
import jsondef remove_dot_key(obj): for key in obj.keys(): new_key = key.replace(".","") if new_key != key: obj[new_key] = obj[key] del obj[key] return objnew_json = json.loads(data, object_hook=remove_dot_key) You were returning a dictionary inside your loop, so you'd only modify one key. And you don't need to make a copy of the values, just rename the keys.
