You can also install simplejson.

If you have pip (see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip) as your Python package manager you can install simplejson with:

 pip install simplejson

This is similar to the comment of installing with easy_install, but I prefer pip to easy_install as you can easily uninstall in pip with "pip uninstall package".
