title: ValueError: malformed string
body: <p>I am working with an API which returns the following unicode as response:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    dd = u"""{"meta":{"request":{"granularity":"Weekly","main_domain_only":false,
  "domain":"borivali.me",
      "country":"world"},"status":"Success",
  "last_updated":"2016-05-09"},"bounce_rate":[{"date":"2016-04-12","bounce_rate":0.5},
      {"date":"2016-04-19","bounce_rate":0.13355382826388454},
  {"date":"2016-04-26","bounce_rate":0.0},
      {"date":"2016-05-03","bounce_rate":0.23602940883106352}]}"""
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm trying to parse this information in the following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ddd = ast.literal_eval(dd)
  print ddd
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <p><code>ValueError: malformed string</code></p>
  
  <p>What seems to be wrong with my code?</p>
  
  <p>PS: <code>dd</code> stores a unicode string and not a dictionary.</p>
