extra backslashes seemingly getting added by json.dumps or json.loads

I have read many articles here about this problem, but nothing I tried has helped to remove the extra backslash. I assume it is because the double quotes are getting added and then escaped. I am reading a csv from a lambda and the data in the csv is standard data

Ticker,Exchange,Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume
6A,BATS,12/5/2021,0.7103,0.712,0.6993,0.6999,113073
6B,BATS,12/5/2021,0.7103,0.712,0.6993,0.6999,113073
6C,BATS,12/5/2021,0.7103,0.712,0.6993,0.6999,113073

I dont mind the quotes showing in the outputted json, but I do mind the backslashes. Here is my code and current output (this is in a lambda with a layer)

import json
import awswrangler as wr

BUCKET_NAME = 'eod-candles-br'
DIRECTORY_PATH = 'candles'
FULL_PATH = f"s3://{BUCKET_NAME}/{DIRECTORY_PATH}"

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    
    print(event)
    raw_df = wr.s3.read_csv(path=FULL_PATH, path_suffix=['.csv'], use_threads=True)
    
    df = raw_df.to_json(orient="records")
    parsed = json.loads(df)
  
    return {
      'body': json.dumps(parsed, separators=(',', ':'))
    }

Here is the output:

{
  "body": "[{\"Ticker\":\"6A\",\"Exchange\":\"BATS\",\"Date\":\"12/5/2021\",\"Open\":0.7103,\"High\":0.712,\"Low\":0.6993,\"Close\":0.6999,\"Volume\":113073},{\"Ticker\":\"6B\",\"Exchange\":\"BATS\",\"Date\":\"12/5/2021\",\"Open\":0.7103,\"High\":0.712,\"Low\":0.6993,\"Close\":0.6999,\"Volume\":113073},{\"Ticker\":\"6C\",\"Exchange\":\"BATS\",\"Date\":\"12/5/2021\",\"Open\":0.7103,\"High\":0.712,\"Low\":0.6993,\"Close\":0.6999,\"Volume\":113073}]"
}

After changing the return code to the following (so that I am no longer using json.dumps), I dont have the backslashes, but I again have the spaces. So, return code is now like this:

return {
    "statusCode": 200,
    'body': (parsed)
  }

result has no slashes, but has spaces again

{"statusCode": 200, "body": [{"Ticker": "6A", "Exchange": "BATS", "Date": "12/2/2021", "Open": 0.9, "High": 0.95, "Low": 0.83, "Close": 0.95, "Volume": 1200},

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
