I'm reading Alan's post as saying that he has a competing implementation. But I believe that both approaches Alan offers are overkill: he proposes something like the db-API, where there are multiple implementations of the same API (except in the case of the db-API they aren't necessarily 100% interchangeable). It'm sorry for Alan, but I'd much rather pick one implementation (simplejson), fix 1-2 minor issues with it, and put it into the standard library. Anything else is just a lot of opportunity for endless debate without much benefit. > As far as Jython support goes, I suppose that's probably fixable > without too much effort.
