Add a JSON analogue to xmlrpclib. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-RPC In some ways, it is much nicer than its XML cousin with bi-directional communication, faster/simpler parsing, and ability to use TCP/IP directly (not requiring HTTP transport).

I think this feature request is out of scope for this bug tracker. To fulfill the request, one not only has to *add* the module, but to *implement* it first. Since there is no inherent need for such a module to be provided with the standard library, somebody implementing it should well first publish it on PyPI, build a community, have it used for some time, and then propose it for inclusion (e.g. through this bug tracker). That's the same route that the XML-RPC implementation took. If nobody volunteers to implement such a module, chances are high that it is because nobody actually needs a Python implementation of a JSON-RPC client module.

This is a reminder to me to submit a patch.

> This is a reminder to me to submit a patch. Is it really necessary to use the public bug tracker for that? All other committers, as well as users, will see your reminder, and get bothered by this (non-)issue.
