[Python-modules-team] Bug#918632: simplejson breaks json-schema-validator autopkgtest

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of simplejson the autopkgtest of
json-schema-validator fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with
the binary packages of simplejson from unstable. It passes when run with
only packages from testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
simplejson             from testing    3.16.0-1
json-schema-validator  from testing    2.3.1-3
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is contributing to the delay of the migration
of simplejson to testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed
this bug report against both packages. Can you please investigate the
situation and reassign the bug to the right package? If needed, please
change the bug's severity.
