Use facts compiled by ANSIBLE programmatically

I would like to write a Python program that uses facts that Ansible gives me with ansible HOST -m setup.

When I call it, I get a response that only makes it almost pure JSON:

$ ansible localhost -m setup
localhost | success >> {
    // actual data
}

Is there a way to get this JSON response directly without parsing the shell output (which may not be very stable)? Can I use Ansible directly in a Python 3 program?
