Cherniavsky Beni <c...@users.sf.net> added the comment: Perhaps it should not be an error at all? The default should probably stay strict to the spec, but IMHO the module should provide an optional lenient parsing mode that also accepts single quotes.
Why support single quotes and not any other imaginable deviation from the spec? Because single quotes are the only way (AFAIK) in which Python's repr() produces invalid JSON (from JSONable combinations of types). ---------- nosy: +cben _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5067> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
