Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-simplejson

To reproduce, run Python 2.5 (default in feisty), and enter: "import simplejson"

This is not a critical problem, but might be in future Python releases. For now it just outputs ugly warnings.

The problem appears to have been fixed in version 1.6 of simplejson (upstream). Upstream version 1.6 seems to import without warning on both Python 2.4 and 2.5.

Oh, and the warning message itself:
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/simplejson/scanner.py:6: DeprecationWarning: The sre module is deprecated, please import re.
  from sre import VERBOSE, MULTILINE, DOTALL

For now, one could just patch /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/simplejson/scanner.py by editing the file and removing the 's' from sre to leave

from re import VERBOSE, MULTILINE, DOTALL

This issue is resolved in version 1.7
