My cases have mainly been switching from one version of 0.9.7 to
another.  That's why it's hard to trace what's a systematic problem vs
what's just a routine clash between two development versions.

However, the simplejson error occurred when I "accidentally" upgraded
a virtualenv to 0.9.7, or rather I realized I had already done it and
the application refused to start.  I had partly future-proofed the
application (put in an "if" for the new middleware in 0.9.7) but not
fully (still using SQLAlchemy 0.4 and the rails helpers).  So I just
decided to go ahead and make it 0.9.7 compatible, while still using SA
0.4 and the rails helpers.  The simplejson problem just increased my
distaste for zipped eggs.

I can say I've never had dependency problems with 0.9.6 after it was
released.  (Besides installing simplejson on Windows, of course.)  So
I expect the same will be true of 0.9.7.
