If you want to use jq but with Python syntax, I wrote pq:

I was once upon a time working heavily with JSON back-ends and wrote a node.js script which, when piped json and lambdas, ran the data thorough the lambda and outputted the result. It was very productive.

But then I discovered LINQPad[0] and, "The Legendary Dump".
