How to convert a list of numbers to jsonarray in Python

Use the json module to produce JSON output:

import json

with open(outputfilename, 'wb') as outfile:
    json.dump(row, outfile)

This writes the JSON result directly to the file (replacing any previous content if the file already existed).

If you need the JSON result string in Python itself, use json.dumps() (added s, for 'string'):

json_string = json.dumps(row)

The L is just Python syntax for a long integer value; the json library knows how to handle those values, no L will be written.

Demo string output:

>>> import json
>>> row = [1L,[0.1,0.2],[[1234L,1],[134L,2]]]
>>> json.dumps(row)
'[1, [0.1, 0.2], [[1234, 1], [134, 2]]]'

import json
row = [1L,[0.1,0.2],[[1234L,1],[134L,2]]]
row_json = json.dumps(row)
