Also note that the optimizations to the pure python version simplejson 2.x are often faster than 1.9.x with the speedups, so even if you can't build the extension it's probably better to use simplejson 2.x. simplejson 2.x with the speedups is on par or better than any of the other JSON encoders and decoders, and is even faster than cPickle on occasion. -bob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
