I am using python url library to get json response from spatial reference website.This is my code. I get response_read="u'{\'type\': \'EPSG\', \'properties\': {\'code\': 102646}}'" but i need this response in this form:"{'type': 'EPSG', 'properties': {'code': 102646}}". How i achieve output in this form? 

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
 req = urllib2.Request("http://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/"nad-1983-stateplane-california-vi-fips-0406-feet"/json/", None, headers)
        response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
        response_read = response.read().decode('utf-8')
        result = json.dumps(response_read)  
        epsg_json = json.loads(result)
        epsg_code = epsg_json['properties']['code']
        return epsg_code

you need to first use dumps then loads

json_data = json.dumps(response_read)
json_without_slash = json.loads(json_data)
