Further to my earlier response to your post, I should mention that my fork of
simplejson at

https://github.com/vsajip/simplejson/

passes all 136 tests for Python 2.7 and 3.2 (not been able to test with 3.3a0
yet). No tests were skipped, though adjustments were made for binary/string
literals and for one case where sorting was applied to incompatible types in the
tests.

Test output is at https://gist.github.com/923019

Bob - If you're reading this, what would you say to having a look at my fork,
and comment on the feasibility of merging my changes back into your master? The
changes are fairly easy to understand, all tests pass, and it's a 2.x/3.x single
codebase, so maintenance should be easier than with multiple codebases.

Admittedly I haven't looked at the C code yet, but that's next on my list.
