It looks like simplejson 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 have been released: http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2010/03/10/simplejson-210/ http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2010/03/31/simplejson-211/ It looks like any changes that didn't come from the Python tree didn't go into the Python tree, either. I guess we can't put these changes into 2.7 anymore? How can we make this better next time? Cheers, Dirkjan
