ContextDecodingException

[jbencook]

When running cookiecutter https://github.com/drivendata/cookiecutter-data-science in Anaconda 2.3.0 (Python 2.7.11) I get the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/bencook/anaconda/bin/cookiecutter", line 11, in <module>

cookiecutter.exceptions.ContextDecodingException: JSON decoding error while loading "/Users/bencook/.cookiecutters/cookiecutter-data-science/cookiecutter.json".  Decoding error details: "Expecting property name: line 9 column 1 (char 401)"

I get the same exception in a virtual environment with Python 2.7.9.

Here's what my cookiecutter.json looks like:

{
    "project_name": "project_name",
    "repo_name": "{{ cookiecutter.project_name|replace(' ', '_') }}",
    "author_name": "Your name (or your organization/company/team)",
    "description": "A short description of the project.",
    "year": "2016",
    "open_source_license": ["MIT", "BSD", "Not open source"],
    "s3_bucket": "[OPTIONAL] your-bucket-for-syncing-data (do not include 's3://')",
}

@jbencook Should be fixed with ff0439f

Would you mind confirming?

[jbencook]

👍 that did it. Sneaky bug :)

One day my text editor will yell at me about that before I save JSON with trailing commas....
