Answer 1

I am programming in Python 2.5 as well and wanted a suitable library. Here is how I did it.

donwloaded the simplejson egg file called simplejson-2.0.6-py2.5-linux-i686.egg from http://pypi.python.org/simple/simplejson/

installed it using the command :

sudo python ./ez_setup.py ./simplejson-2.0.6-py2.5-linux-i686.egg

Then imported the json library into the script file by doing :

import sys
sys.path.append("/home/coolkid/Android/simplejson/simplejson-2.0.6-py2.5-linux-i686.egg")
try: import simplejson as json
except ImportError: print ("import error")
