So I'm trying to use Google Map suggest API to request place name suggestions. Unfortunately I can't find the docs for this bit.

Here is an example URI:

http://maps.google.com/maps/suggest?q=lon&cp=3&ll=55.0,-3.5&spn=11.9,1.2&hl=en&gl=uk&v=2

which returns:

{suggestion:[{query:"London",...

I want to use this in python (2.5). Now in proper JSON there would have been quotations around the keys like so:

{"suggestion":[{"query":"London",...

and I could have used simplejson or something, but as it is I'm a bit stuck.

There are two possible solutions here; either I can get to the API code and find an option to return proper JSON, or I do that in python.

Any ideas please.
