Reading a json object from a remote URL (or it that's not available from a local file), displaying the contents of the object, modifying it, and printing it out. A Python 3.4 example from today's
Python course. See
[here] for full source code.
Note that in Python 2, you would have used
urllib2 which replaced the earlier
urllib - but the name
urllib has come back in Python 3 as the new "all singing, all dancing" URL accessor.
