(Off topic) There is a very common mistake in this code: ``` with oepn(filepath, 'r') as f: data = json.load(f) ``` JSON file is encoded in UTF-8. But the default text encoding is locale encoding. You should do this instead: ``` with oepn(filepath, 'rb') as f: data = json.load(f) ``` This works for legacy JSON with UTF-16 or UTF-32 (with/without BOM).too.
