Package: python-whois
Version: 0.6.4-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,
it looks like this package won't work on a default Wheezy install 
(ie. with python-2.7).

In whois/_1_query.py it tries to import simplejson, which by default 
is not installed:

"""
if PYTHON_VERSION >= 3:
        import json
else:
        import simplejson as json
"""

You should add an explicit dependency on simplejson and (better) try 
to import json and then fallback on simplesjson.

Cheers, Luca
