 Replying to [comment:20 davidsarah]:
 > By the way, requiring 2.6 would not allow eliminating the dependency on
 simplejson; that was added to the stdlib in 2.7.

 http://docs.python.org/library/json.html#module-json says that json was
 added in python2.6 . Some minor features were added in the py2.7 version,
 but I don't think they'd be useful to us.
