JSON module for python 2.4?


Now, a few years later, simplejson does only support python 2.5+. No more simplejson for systems stuck on 2.4. Even though it is not supported, you may find older packages on pypi. 2.0.9 or 2.1.0 should work.

pip install simplejson==2.1.0

(I could not comment on the chosen answer, but this just bit me hard, so it may be useful to others as well)


The json module in Python 2.6 is mostly the same as the simplejson third-party module, which is available for Python 2.4 as well. You can just do:

try:    import jsonexcept ImportError:    import simplejson as json


I needed to get this up on an old box with Python 2.4.3.Used simplejson-1.7-py2.4.egg from here:
