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.

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.
