This patchs makes it possible to use tabs for indenting the output of
json.dumps(). With this patch the indent argument can now be either an
integer specifying the number of spaces per indent level or a string
specifying the indent string directly::

   json.dumps(list(range(10), indent=3) # three spaces per indent
   json.dumps(list(range(10), indent="\t") # one tab per indent

Patch is small and simple, can we move this forward?

Well this feature is already in simplejson 2.1.0, it would probably make more sense to simply merge the latest simplejson back with Python 3.

Is this merge going to happen before 3.2 beta?

That would be nice.

Bob, any chance you get to that merge before 3.2b1?

Sorry but I don't think I will be able to. I'd be happy to accept patches into simplejson that make it easier to merge with Python 3 in the future, but I simply do not have the time to maintain the Python 3 branch of the code that we don't use.
