Mutating JSON?

[kodonnell]

Yup off topic = ) Seems like an issue with jsonpath-rw, as per that issue you linked. In normal python you'd just do something like the below (where I've probably got the exact json.load(s)/dump(s) syntax a little off). I.e. load json into an dictionary, mutate the dictionary then write it out.

d = json.load("./Report\\Layout")
d['some']['path']['to']['sections'][0] = {'fruit': 'apples'}
json.dump(d, "./Report\\Layout.new")

Note that doing

x = d['some']['path']['to']['sections'][0]
x = {'fruit': 'apples'}

won't mutate the dictionary.

Wow...python....
If code can be beautiful, this is.
