  Description     : A json-rpc package which implements JSON-RPC over HTTP

The current implementation provides functionality for making JSON-RPC services available through CGI and through a mod-python handler.

It also provides an easy to use proxy class for calling JSON-RPC services from python.

The package should probably make use of packages like python-cjson or python-simplejson if they are installed. The json.py which comes with python-jsonrpc is not as stable and fast as the existing packages. I recommend adding those to packages to the package recommendations, so that at least one of them gets installed. The json.py should then be patched to import the loads and dumps function from those modules.
