[code-quality] pylint with simplejson & json

Hi, I'm getting mixed results from pylint when it inspects the result of simplejson.loads versus json.loads. I've documented some of my findings in the stackoverflow question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21545409/pylint-reports-maybe-no-member-e... . I'm still not very clear as to why one implementation gets past pylint's checks while the other doesn't. Also out of curiosity - what would be the correct approach for dealing with a function that returns one of many primitives? best, *./ع*
