The JSON-file consists of hundreds of these list.

You can use the json library for this:

from collections import namedtuple
import json

with open('file.json', 'r') as f:
    lst = json.load(f)

# get the item from the list (and remove it)
item = lst.pop(lst.index(["bla", "bla"]))

# create the namedtuple you need
Strings = namedtuple("strings", ["str1", "str2"])

# generate a named tuple from the item
named_tuple = Strings(*item)
