| json is defined as mapping the JSON string type into unicodes. This works as advertised in Python 2.6 and 3, but in Python 2.7 it returns a str. % python2.6 -c "import json; print json.loads('{\"foo\":\"bar\"}')" {u'foo': u'bar'} % python2.7 -c "import json; print json.loads('{\"foo\":\"bar\"}')" {'foo': 'bar'} Platform tested so far: Ubuntu 10.10 amd64. | ||

| BTW, the workaround for Python 2.7 is to pass a unicode to json.loads(). | ||

| Yay. I guess I have to submit a tracker bug now because searching for "json unicode" didn't turn up the original bug. ;/ Thanks for duping it __ap__. |
