client.write_points with JSON.dumps from python dict(dictionary) FAILED - solution

•    add square brackets [ to JSON.dumps ] and
•    then use JSON.loads() to get the expected type(list)/class
• client.write_points( json.loads( '[' + json.dumps( python_dict ) + ']' ) ) WORKED

Hope this will save time for other influxDB newbies. The story behind ...
collected a data point structure into the python_dict/dictionary for InfluxDB

python_dict = dict( { 'measurement': 'eACstatus',
	'tags': { 'Name':"my" }, 
	'fields': {
	'L1Voltage_V':0.0,'L2Voltage_V':0.0,'L3Voltage_V':0.0,
	'GridFrequency_Hz':0.0,
	'L1Current_A':0.0,'L2Current_A':0.0,'L3Current_A':0.0
	} } )

client.write( json.dumps(python_dict) ) FAILED for two reasons

• client.write expects JSON, but of type(list) "json is not JSON"
• json.dumps() delivers type(str) and without square brackets

Tests with json_body constructed manually, which is of type(list), examples you find all over the web

json_body = [
       {
           "measurement": "eACstatus", 
           "tags": {
		"Name": "my"
           },
           "fields": {
		"L1Voltage_V": 0.0, "L2Voltage_V": 225.6999969482422, "L3Voltage_V": 0.0, 
		"GridFrequency_Hz": 50.040000915527344, 
		"L1Current_A": 0.0, "L2Current_A": 0.009999999776482582, "L3Current_A": 0.0
            }
       }
   ]

A) client.write_points( json_body ) which is of type(list) WORKED
type= <class 'list'>
[{'measurement': 'eACstatus', 'tags': {'Name': 'my'}, 'fields': {'L1Voltage_V': 0.0, 'L2Voltage_V': 225.6999969482422, 'L3Voltage_V': 0.0, 'GridFrequency_Hz': 50.040000915527344, 'L1Current_A': 0.0, 'L2Current_A': 0.009999999776482582, 'L3Current_A': 0.0}}]

B) client.write_points( json.dumps(json_body) ) which is of type(str) FAILED
type= <class 'str'>
[{"measurement": "eACstatus", "tags": {"Name": "my"}, "fields": {"L1Voltage_V": 0.0, "L2Voltage_V": 225.6999969482422, "L3Voltage_V": 0.0, "GridFrequency_Hz": 50.040000915527344, "L1Current_A": 0.0, "L2Current_A": 0.009999999776482582, "L3Current_A": 0.0}}]

Notice the only difference between A) and B), type= <class> that helped to find the solution for python_dict.

C) SOLUTION for python_dict,dictionary

to json.dumps(python_dict) ADD square brackets [], then use JSON.loads()

dict_dumps = json.dumps(python_dict) ### is also missing the square brackets

type= <class 'str'>
{"measurement": "eACstatus", "tags": {"Name": "6DL"}, "fields": {"L1Voltage_V": 0.0, "L2Voltage_V": 227.0, "L3Voltage_V": 0.0, "GridFrequency_Hz": 50.02000045776367, "L1Current_A": 0.0, "L2Current_A": 0.009999999776482582, "L3Current_A": 0.0}}

dict_body = '[' + json.dumps(python_dict) + ']' ### with added square brackets

type= <class 'str'>
[{"measurement": "eACstatus", "tags": {"Name": "6DL"}, "fields": {"L1Voltage_V": 0.0, "L2Voltage_V": 227.0, "L3Voltage_V": 0.0, "GridFrequency_Hz": 50.02000045776367, "L1Current_A": 0.0, "L2Current_A": 0.009999999776482582, "L3Current_A": 0.0}}]

dict_body_loads = json.loads( dict_body ) ### the desired type(list)

type= <class 'list'>
[{'measurement': 'eACstatus', 'tags': {'Name': '6DL'}, 'fields': {'L1Voltage_V': 0.0, 'L2Voltage_V': 227.0, 'L3Voltage_V': 0.0, 'GridFrequency_Hz': 50.02000045776367, 'L1Current_A': 0.0, 'L2Current_A': 0.009999999776482582, 'L3Current_A': 0.0}}]

client.write_points(dict_body_loads) ### gets WRITTEN to influxDB

influxDB 1.8.10 python 3.9.2 this solution is WORKING, sorry for posting here, it is not a bug, only a tricky obstacle.

The issue provides Python examples for client.write_points and JSON conversion, but names no repository file, test, or requested documentation change. Read the existing client.write_points documentation and related examples first; maintainer guidance is needed to define the intended update and what would count as done.
