JSON, прошедший через ввод html-формы, не декодирует

Question

Я бы предпочел не обрабатывать все данные дважды для моих пользователей, поэтому я пытаюсь отправить данные в виде скрытой формы ввода, закодированной как JSON, чтобы сгенерировать экспорт CSV в следующую функцию:

<h3> <form action="/c/flex_csv/" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="data" value='%s'>
<input type="hidden" name="questions" value='%s'> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Download a CSV" />
</form></h3>

И данные в источнике HTML выглядит хорошо. У меня было много проблем с кавычками и символами Unicode, поэтому я сейчас вручную перекодирую эти проблемные символы:

['data' - это список словарей]

def safe_listdict(data):
    # makes a list of dict that will pass through HTML and CSV without character encoding problems    or quotes breaking form input fields
    import unicodedata
    safe_data = []
    for x in data: 
        line = {}
        for k,v in x.items():
            if type(v) == str:
                line[k] = v.replace("'",''').replace('"','"').encode('ascii','xmlcharrefreplace')
            elif type(v) == unicode:
                # first normallizes the unicode, then converts to ascii, replacing xml as needed
                line[k] = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD',v.replace("'",''').replace('"','"')).encode('ascii','xmlcharrefreplace')
            else:
                line[k] = str(v)
            safe_data.append(line)
    return safe_data
import json
safe_data = json.dumps(safe_listdict(data))

Вот как выглядит html-источник:

<input type="hidden" name="data" value='[{"q0": "65604", "q3": "HOW VAP HAD HELP ME", "q2": "Before three months back i had nothing like knowledge in my mind about HIV/AID prevention, but now i had something in my mind. I had teach my three friends about it and when the had been reped where to visit before 72 hours.     And after that i had also learned how to use ordinary towels which i didn&#39;t know how to use before. And how to maintain proper Hygine.    Through VAP program i had know how to relate with other people like my parents, friends and boys in school.    The last one is that i had now high parepresure, how to relate with my teachers and other pupils in school.    For now i had teach over twenty girls in our community.", "q5": "HIV/AIDS AND PROPER HYGINE", "q4": "VIJANA AMANI PAMOJA", "q7": "NAIROBI", "q6": "KENYA", "q9": "Less than 1 month ago", "q8": "MATHARE 4B", "q15": "", "q14": "0720374037", "q16": "0735775820  [e-mail]", "q11": "14", "q10": "Female", "q13": "The right people", "q12": "Heard about it happening", "q19": "Knowledge"},  ...more dicts of same format...]

Но когда я декодирую JSON в моей следующей функции в Python, я всегда получаю ошибки при разборе:

ERROR:cherrypy.error.18520784:[07/Jan/2014:19:18:18] HTTP Traceback (most recent call last):

    obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)

**ValueError: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 3108 (char 3107)**

Данные выглядят так в журнале ошибок, ДО ТОГО, как я запускаю json.loads(data), чтобы преобразовать его из json обратно в список словарей python. Я не вижу ничего явно неправильного...

Примечание. Цель - дать пользователю возможность сохранять данные с помощью кнопки экспорта в CSV. Я должен отправить его на другую страницу, чтобы функции python могли организовать его в первую очередь.
