[Python-ideas] A shortcut to load a JSON file into a dict : json.loadf

Hi All, This is the first time I'm posting to this mailing group, so forgive me if I'm making any mistakes. So one of the most common ways to load json, is via a file. This is used extensively in data science and the lines. We often write something like :- with open(filename.json, "r") as f: my_dict = json.load(f) or my_dict = json.load(open("filename.json", "r")) Since this is sooooo common, why doesn't python have something like :- json.loadf("filename.json") Is there an obvious issue by defining this in the cpython? I don't whipping up a PR if it gains traction.
