Question

Disclaimer: I am new to django but have coded in Drupal

I need to return JSON data to my webpage. In my code,

x    = serializers.serialize('json', Temp.objects.all())

returns

[{"pk": 1, "model": "wizard.temp", "fields": {"p": "message", "k": null, "m": null, "v": "PLEASE WAIT -- Counting and enumerating your images..."}}]'

How do I remove the leading and trailing brackets — that is, the [ and ] ?

It seems only Firefox understands data[0][‘pk’], so I’d like to instead do data[‘pk’].

You want to be serializing only one instance of Temp. For example, to serialize only the first instance:

serializers.serialize('json', Temp.objects.all()[0])
