[Python] Create identically named JSON object and array using python [duplicate]

I try to achieve the following using the default python encoder:

{
"x": {
"name": "value"
},
"x": [
{
"other_name": "other_value"
}
]
}


My current JSON skills allow the following

import json

data = {}

data["x"] = {}
data["x"]["name"] = "value"

y = {}
y["other_name"] = "other_value"
data["x"] = [y]

print(json.dumps(data))


which of course only results in

{
"x": [
{
"other_name": "other_value"
}
]
}



How can I get an output that contains a JSON object and an identically named array (here "x")?
