That did it! I really appreciate the help and I'm glad I had the sense to ask, that would've taken me quite awhile to find.
I tried to do some grep'ing to see if anything else used the JSON library and didn't find anything, so I removed it. Hopefully it doesn't break something else. That's an unfortunate name collision... I'm surprised the pip system doesn't enforce unique namespaces to prevent this, but again I'm not a python guy.
