While upstream code structure seems to be already set up to use, if
available, jsonpy, including its sources in w3af is not particularly
nice. In Debian we prefer to factor out common code of external
libraries for a lot of reasons (e.g. having a single package to fix in
case of security problems).
I doubt anybody would be happy to go forward with this patch without an
explicit agreement of the maintainer, hence I'm copying him (hi,
Luciano!) to explicitly ask for his advice. As an alternative, instead
of explicitly including jsonpy in a diff, we might consider packaging a
new SVN snapshot which seems to contain jsonpy in it already (I've no
idea of the current status of SVN trunk, though).
Cheers.
PS Luciano, this is also an offer for help, if you approve the proposed
patch, I'd be happy to contribute an NMU of this.
