Just adding onto alexce's response, you can easily convert the restructured data into JSON:
import json
json.dumps(result)
There are some potential security concerns with top-level arrays. I'm not sure if they're still valid with modern browsers, but you may want to consider wrapping it in an object.
import json
json.dumps({'results': result})

To solve this, you need to split the input list into chunks, by 7 in your case. For this, let's use this approach. Then, use a list comprehension producing a list of dictionaries:
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> l = [['String 1'],['String 2'],['String 3'],['String 4'],['String 5'],
... ['String 6'],['String 7'],['String 8'],['String 9'],['String 10'],
... ['String 11']]
>>> def chunks(l, n):
... """Yield successive n-sized chunks from l."""
... for i in range(0, len(l), n):
... yield l[i:i+n]
...
>>>
>>> result = [{"title%d" % (i+1): chunk[i][0] for i in range(len(chunk))}
for chunk in chunks(l, 7)]
>>> pprint(result)
[{'title1': 'String 1',
'title2': 'String 2',
'title3': 'String 3',
'title4': 'String 4',
'title5': 'String 5',
'title6': 'String 6',
'title7': 'String 7'},
{'title1': 'String 8',
'title2': 'String 9',
'title3': 'String 10',
'title4': 'String 11'}]

I know that, list can be converted into JSON by using json.dumps(mylist).
But how can I convert something like this into JSON ?
[["abc", "bcd", "cde"] , ["pgr", "xyz"]]
Use the json module to produce JSON output:
import json
with open(outputfilename, 'wb') as outfile:
json.dump(row, outfile)
This writes the JSON result directly to the file (replacing any previous content if the file already existed).
If you need the JSON result string in Python itself, use json.dumps() (added s, for 'string'):
json_string = json.dumps(row)
The L is just Python syntax for a long integer value; the json library knows how to handle those values, no L will be written.
Demo string output:
>>> import json
>>> row = [1L,[0.1,0.2],[[1234L,1],[134L,2]]]
>>> json.dumps(row)
'[1, [0.1, 0.2], [[1234, 1], [134, 2]]]'
import json
row = [1L,[0.1,0.2],[[1234L,1],[134L,2]]]
row_json = json.dumps(row)
