有一个简单的变通办法。

DR -使用ast.literal_eval()代替json.loads()。ast和json都在标准库中。

虽然这不是一个“完美”的答案，但如果您的计划是完全忽略Unicode，那么它就相当不错了。Python 2.7

import json, ast
d = { 'field' : 'value' }
print "JSON Fail: ", json.loads(json.dumps(d))
print "AST Win:", ast.literal_eval(json.dumps(d))

给:

JSON Fail:  {u'field': u'value'}
AST Win: {'field': 'value'}

当一些对象实际上是Unicode字符串时，这就变得更麻烦了。完整的答案很快就变得棘手起来。

我从Mark Amery的回答中改编了代码，特别是为了摆脱isinstance的鸭子键入的优点。

编码是手动完成的，ensure_ascii是禁用的。json的Python文档。Dump说:

如果ensure_ascii为True(默认值)，输出中的所有非ascii字符将使用\uXXXX序列转义

免责声明:在文档测试中，我使用了匈牙利语。一些著名的与匈牙利语相关的字符编码有:cp852，在DOS中使用的IBM/OEM编码(有时被称为ASCII)。我认为这是不正确的，因为它取决于代码页设置)。Windows-1250用于Windows(有时称为ANSI，取决于区域设置)，ISO 8859-1有时用于HTTP服务器。

我还想强调Jarret Hardie引用JSON规范的答案，引用如下:

字符串是零个或多个Unicode字符的集合

在我的用例中，我有带有JSON内容的文件。它们是UTF-8编码的文件。ensure_ascii的结果是正确转义，但不是非常可读的JSON文件，这就是为什么我改编了Mark Amery的答案来满足我的需要。

doctest不是特别周到，但我分享了代码，希望它对某人有用。

没有内置选项让json模块函数返回字节字符串而不是Unicode字符串。然而，这个简短而简单的递归函数将任何解码的JSON对象从使用Unicode字符串转换为utf -8编码的字节字符串:

def byteify(input):
    if isinstance(input, dict):
        return {byteify(key): byteify(value)
                for key, value in input.iteritems()}
    elif isinstance(input, list):
        return [byteify(element) for element in input]
    elif isinstance(input, unicode):
        return input.encode('utf-8')
    else:
        return input

只需在从json中获得的输出上调用此函数。加载或json。负载的电话。

几点注意事项:

To support Python 2.6 or earlier, replace return {byteify(key): byteify(value) for key, value in input.iteritems()} with return dict([(byteify(key), byteify(value)) for key, value in input.iteritems()]), since dictionary comprehensions weren't supported until Python 2.7. Since this answer recurses through the entire decoded object, it has a couple of undesirable performance characteristics that can be avoided with very careful use of the object_hook or object_pairs_hook parameters. Mirec Miskuf's answer is so far the only one that manages to pull this off correctly, although as a consequence, it's significantly more complicated than my approach.

使用Python 3.6，有时我仍然会遇到这个问题。例如，当从REST API获取响应并将响应文本加载到JSON时，我仍然得到Unicode字符串。 使用json.dumps()找到了一个简单的解决方案。

response_message = json.loads(json.dumps(response.text))
print(response_message)

使用钩子支持Python 2和3(来自Mirec Miskuf的回答):

import requests
import six
from six import iteritems

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()  # @UndefinedVariable
r = requests.get("http://echo.jsontest.com/key/value/one/two/three", verify=False)

def _byteify(data):
    # If this is a Unicode string, return its string representation
    if isinstance(data, six.string_types):
        return str(data.encode('utf-8').decode())

    # If this is a list of values, return list of byteified values
    if isinstance(data, list):
        return [ _byteify(item) for item in data ]

    # If this is a dictionary, return dictionary of byteified keys and values,
    # but only if we haven't already byteified it
    if isinstance(data, dict):
        return {
            _byteify(key): _byteify(value) for key, value in iteritems(data)
        }
    # If it's anything else, return it in its original form
    return data

w = r.json(object_hook=_byteify)
print(w)

返回:

 {'three': '', 'key': 'value', 'one': 'two'}

你可以为json使用object_hook参数。要传入转换器的负载。你不需要在事后进行转换。json模块将始终只传递object_hook字典，并且它将递归地传递嵌套字典，因此您不必自己递归到嵌套字典。我不认为我会像Wells显示的那样将Unicode字符串转换为数字。如果它是Unicode字符串，它在JSON文件中被引用为字符串，所以它应该是字符串(或者文件是坏的)。

另外，我会尽量避免在unicode对象上做类似str(val)的事情。您应该使用带有有效编码的value.encode(encoding)，这取决于外部库的期望。

举个例子:

def _decode_list(data):
    rv = []
    for item in data:
        if isinstance(item, unicode):
            item = item.encode('utf-8')
        elif isinstance(item, list):
            item = _decode_list(item)
        elif isinstance(item, dict):
            item = _decode_dict(item)
        rv.append(item)
    return rv

def _decode_dict(data):
    rv = {}
    for key, value in data.iteritems():
        if isinstance(key, unicode):
            key = key.encode('utf-8')
        if isinstance(value, unicode):
            value = value.encode('utf-8')
        elif isinstance(value, list):
            value = _decode_list(value)
        elif isinstance(value, dict):
            value = _decode_dict(value)
        rv[key] = value
    return rv

obj = json.loads(s, object_hook=_decode_dict)
