>>> stuff = '[["hiya"]]'
>>> js = json.loads(stuff)
>>> js[0]
[u'hiya']
>>> str(js[0])
"[u'hiya']"

It doesn’t seem to go away. How can I print hiya on its own (without manually stripping the special characters away)?

    You have a list that’s nested two levels deep. Try it like this to simply print ‘hiya’:

    >>> import json
>>> stuff = '[["hiya"]]'
>>> js = json.loads(stuff)
>>> str(js[0][0])
'hiya'
