Greetings list,

Using 3.7, in json module of the std lib there is json.load and json.loads . I gather json.loads is more used to convert string to dict structure. json.load might cause (it already causes) confusions.

Suggestion: Rename json.load() so as not to confuse with json.loads()

You'd  either have to breaking existing code, or having 2 identical functions with different names. In either case, the churn and confusion would not be worth it. Eric
