python - Stripping timestamp from Json int -

in third-party script, it's meant spit out json me decode instead prepends timestamp:

2015-03-28t16:32:41.875199+00:00 {"1": {"power (kw)": "0.301", "energy imported (kwh)": "62.281"...}} 

all of in 1 big integer. i've tried split based on space/whitespace contained before first curly bracket can not it. i'd appreciate pointers - i'm aware questions here basic, , apparently i'm going blocked unless improve, please don't shoot me asking simple one!

i realise may seem impossible assure returns datatype of int. may not believe it, you'll have to, , check guy's code here. i've used call script:

get_power=os.system("python /fetch_neurio.py --ip 172.16.0.8 --format json --type sensor") thedata = get_power print type(thedata) 

if find unbelievable @ code of fetch_neurio yourself. if you're struggling cretin me, no worries. came here ask help.

thanks

no idea mean "one big int" in text and subject since pretty data string, not integer. i'm going answer on assumption repeated use of int weird repeated typo , meant "string" instead.

given

data = '2015-03-28t16:32:41.875199+00:00 {"1": {"power (kw)": "0.301", "energy imported (kwh)": "62.281"}}' 

(removing ... make json part syntactically valid),

import json  timestamp, jsondata = data.split(none, 1) pythondata = json.loads(jsondata) 

...yep, is simple this!-)

"splitting on none" means split on sequences of 1+ whitespace characters (in case blank-looking thing might tab or whatever, don't care:-). second optional argument, here 1, split method, means 1 split (on first sequence of whitespace) -- producing 2 pieces assign correspondingly 2 variables.

there of course other possibilities, example using regular expressions, if anomalies in data worse have communicated far (i.e, more pre-pended, whitespace separated timestamp), based on have communicated, simplistic approach should suffice.
