Bug#580869: Missing dependency on python-json

[Michael Biebl]

Hi Guido,

$ grep "import json" * -R
src/gnome-shell-jhbuild.in:    import json
src/gnome-shell-extension-tool.in:    import js

Looking at src/gnome-shell-extension-tool.in:

try:
    import json
except ImportError:
    try:
        import simplejson as json
    except ImportError:
        print 'The Python simplejson module is required'
        sys.exit(1)


And finally looking at the package description of of python-simplejson,
it is mentioned that the json module is directly included in python 2.6
onwards.

Currently gnome-shell has a dependency on python (>= 2.5).
So we either bump that, or add an explicit dependency on
python-simplejson. That said, given that for wheezy python2.5 is no
longer available, it probably doesn't make that much of a difference

Cheers,
Michael
