my apologies in advance for a python and json nubie question. json seems to be hiccuping on the following statements:

{"delete":{"status":{"id":12600579001,"user_id":55389449}}}

code snippet:

temp = json.loads(line)
text = temp['text']

I get the following error output when the above code snippet encounters lines similar to the above json 'dictionary':

text = temp['text']
KeyError: 'text'

Is it because there is no "text" key in the line or because "delete" is not in the dictionary?
